** Description changed: The touchpad right button and scroll do not work, and tapping is extremely sensitive (recognizing a tap when I did not touch the touchpad) and cannot be disabled. (The cursor moves fine.) "lshw" and "/proc/bus/input/devices" list the touchpad as a PS/2 mouse; USB mouse support also breaks sporadically. This is an Ubuntu certified system, Dell Inspiron 1545. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/200910-4252 I bought it from Dell with Ubuntu 9.10 installed, and everything worked through many updates until late November 2010. Exactly when the touchpad started acting up, so did the USB mouse. Sporadically, the right button and scroll wheel do not work. All left- clicks act inside a particular window, even if the cursor is outside the window; the cursor does not change between an arrow and an "I" outside the window. Sometimes, all mouse buttons and the Alt key do not work; the cursor freezes as either an arrow or an "I", regardless where it is moved. The symptoms are the same with a fresh install (or live CD) of Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 10.10. This suggests that there was some firmware installed initially, which was overwritten by some update and is not re- installed with a clean install.
