[SOLVED] Resolving Erratic Touchpad Operation

[N4RPS]

Hello, All!

When installing LL on my Samsung laptop, I noticed that the touchpad jumped all over the place.

I stumbled on a fix elsewhere which was rather hard to find, so thought I'd put it here, also. Here's what you do:

1. Open a terminal window with [CTRL-ALT-T]. Type or cut-and-paste this line:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf

2. In the text editor, type or cut-and-paste the line below:

Code:

options psmouse proto=imps

3. Save the newly-created file and close Notepad.

6. Go back to the terminal window and type or cut-and-paste the following:

Code:

sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse

Your touchpad should now work properly!

Hope this helps...
