I have this problem on ALL ubuntu distro (lx, xf, kde, gdm). Never once this happened on opensuse, slackware, gentoo or debian. This is A ubuntu code bug, not specific drivers or software related. This is why this bug is not fixed yet, and this is why it is NOT talked about or replied to in a "fixing bug" way. That bug is there ever since my first try at 8.04 ubuntu. Not always the same bug, but basically input device related (keyboard and mouse). One was the mouse-wheel where it would suddenly start switching apps or windows when I wheel-scrolled a page. An other is when keyboard lags then drops a batch of repeated characters, very helpful when entering a passwrd in terminal (like thyssssssssssssssssssssssrui). Now it's the cursor that keeps disappearing when pause for .0025sec of the time.
ok I'm a little pissed-off by this. But I try to find a stable OS (one I can install software I choose, NOT force-fed into social networking as facebook, or any alike, INTO the OS ) (hey, ...maybe the bug is right inthere ;) I try them all on either Vbox or hard-drive full install no dual boot (I keep a hard-drive just for that purpose and the OS will find its home there when I'm pleased with it;)) So why do I keep trying ubuntu some ask? Because I what to be able to give it to grandma! Obvious someone like that won't want to mess with a slackware/gentoo install or an opensuse de-branding;)) (and she's a KDE girl;) Keep-up the good work! This bug will be fix somehow;) Peace prefered OS: KDE based (and, as granma, I can't even pronounce gnome or knowm, sorry;)lolol -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658538 Title: mouse cursor lags -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
