Public bug reported:
THIS BUG RENDERS UBUNTU PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE:
The touchscreen digitizer of various ASUS laptops is malfunctioning in Ubuntu
but not Windows. What this person is saying is exactly the same as what's going
on with my laptop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2249279 -- Same
device. Atmel maXTouch Digitizer. It makes it so that no mice are able to move
until you disable the digitizer.
This is just a big pain in the ass:
Ubuntu system settings only lets me control the speed of the laptop's internal
mouse, but not the usb mouse. Plus, it doesn't even work that well for the
internal mouse speed control. Plus, when I issue the obscure linux commands
which fix the speed of the mouse it only works until I restart the computer,
then I have to try to figure out the intricacies of the ubuntu startup process
and bash scripting in order to get the mouse working properly. Ridiculous.
In addition:
Why is it so hard to tell you what's broken in ubuntu? I can understand if you
don't want to listen to grumpy people, but at least make it easy to submit the
information so that you can process it and see what everyone says is broken.
Firefox makes it suuuuper easy with their "Submit Feedback" selection in "Help"
on the menu bar, and I think Ubuntu should follow suit. Also, your help site is
pointless. That advice doesn't actually solve the problems described here.
StackExchange has much better advice, but it's always stuff that only
temporarily fixes the problems, like using xinput to disable or change speed of
input devices. Making it annoying to contact you is what you're doing right
now, probably to save yourselves from hearing from lots of grumpy people. My
suggestion: Stop being a wuss and fix things.
