[Bug 327428] Re: mouse pointer no longer has 1 pixel precision

[Bryce Harrington]

The problem being seen in this bug report is limited to specific
hardware with touchpads with height/width ratios significantly different
from the monitor, which seems to be a pretty rare situation.  That patch
disables scaling behavior across the board, which would cause
undesirable change in functionality for the vast many touchpads that
*are* working correctly.

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

After upgrading to the latest X server and all of the accompanying packages (version 0.99.3-2ubuntu2 for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics) there are certain rows and columns of pixels that I cannot move my mouse to.  The unreachable rows and columns are independent of anything else including where my mouse has been, what is being displayed there, and they are even consistent after reboots.

I am running the 2.6.28-6 amd64 kernel on the latest jaunty.
