The workaround (reloading psmouse) apparently solves the problem that the touchpad (/dev/input/eventX) is grabbed by the wrong XServer:
This can be observed by running: sudo lsof /dev/input/eventX First XServer: Touchpad works. (as the devide is grabbed by the process of the first XServer. Switching to second XServer Second XServer: Touchpad does not work. The device is still grabbed by the first Server sudo rmmod psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse Second XServer: Touchpad works. The device is now grabbed by the second Server. Can anybody explain how the normal procedure of grabbing/releasing of devices works? If i repeat the above test with an USB mouse, this procedure works... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247388 Title: Mouse cursor disapear / mouse stops working, when switching user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1247388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
