Comment 13 for bug 112915

Hello,

First of all I tried the "reload psmouse" trick as suggested on the above thread, but it didn't work for me, so I'm still running edgy kernel. Today I however was feeling adventurous and tried the latest gutsy kernel in order to see how I could lower my power usage with the help of powertop... got down from around 20W to around 17W easily, quite substantial, really looking forward to being able to run a tickless kernel.

But, long story short, this same bug with the synaptics touchpad is still present in gutsy. It's actually the only problem I discovered during my short test period of the kernel.

I hate to be whining here, but just being curious, are there really no patches lying around that I could try and see if they'd fix the bug? Is anybody looking at this bug, hopefully it isn't forgotten, seems to me there are quite a few people with the same problem.

Thanks, juhis
