All,
On my new 13.1 install on my tosiba laptop, I am getting strange behavior out of the optical mouse. MS inteli-mouse - normal 3 button + wheel. When the mouse is lifter off the pad, the cursor begins jumping around quite noticeably. It shakes up and down about 1/2 to 1 inch vertically as it works itself down the page at a fairly rapid pace.
For some reason it looks like the Y-axis goes nuts when the mouse is lifted. This makes it quite difficult to reposition the mouse on the pad. Lifting the mouse about 1/2 inch off the pad and the cursor takes off like a rocket to the bottom of the screen.
Can anybody else confirm? I also have the synaptics touchpad driver 'syndaemon` loaded to disable the touchpad while typing. I have used syndaemon for years and never had this type of issue before. Strange.
Does anyone recall how to capture the X and Y axis values? It would be nice to grab data in the event this becomes a bug report.
You ARE having some hassles, aren't you? :-) I don't have this problem with the mouse on my laptop (Lenovo). Nor do I use any "driver" to disable the touchpad on the laptop - this is done in the bios where I disabled the pad but, of course, your Toshiba may not have this ability to do this using the bios. (You do say above that you have a "new 13.1 install" but is it really a FRESH install or an upgrade from (?)12.3? If latter, any old baggage being carried by 13.1?)
