Comment 27 for bug 1258837

Would it be fair to say that this issue should be raised directly with the gmane.linux.kernel.input group to make progress?

@Carl W - You might possibly find the tip in comment 5 useful to stop the jumpiness of the pointer. Alternatively, you could use a much older kernel which will use the generic mouse drivers rather than specific touchpad ones (you will lose functionality if you do that, however).
