Hi all, I have a X11/KDE setup going but the mouse does not work.  I can navigate with the trackpad though and the keyboard works fine.  I read a wiki article about configuring the mouse, but I do not have an xorg.conf file and if I try to generate one with X -configure, I get an error because X is running.  How can I fix the mouse problem and also how can I add an option in GRUB2 t

Yes, I adjusted the mouse preferences first. The sensitivity is all the way down. I don't feel that did anything.

Hello, I'm on a Lenovo Thinkpad. My mouse is way too jittery. For example, if I just place my finger on my trackpad without moving it, the mouse will wiggle around quite a bit on the screen.

I got a used Sony Vaio E-Series [not my first choice, but what was available] and installed Wubi on it. I started with Ubuntu 10.10 and went on to 11.04 before reinstalling 10.10 in my attempts to fix this bug.

The machine has an ALPS Glidepoint trackpad in front of the keyboard, and it is hard to avoid the trackpad while typing.

My laptop keyboard and trackpad aren't working on my Dell XPS 15z.

I do have a USB mouse and that works, but, whenever I click on something, it opens about 20 windows of that. Or, if I click something on Google, it'll keep going to it about 20 times.

Hello, everyone, after a long time testing i think it's time to post my app - wifi mouse. It transform your phone into wireless mouse, keyboard and trackpad, maybe you are insterested. And it support left/right click, make scrolling, drag and pinch to zoom, etc.

Features: * Mouse curser movement * left and right click support * Middle mouse button scroll * Remote keyboard input * PC/Mac

My trackpad works fine in most ways - two finger scrolling, etc.
