I have a dual boot Win-7, lucid 10.4 on a new Asus laptop.
Almost all of my 'resource' caused problems I've had and mentioned here
are pretty much gone.
My biggest aggravation at the moment is when I inadvertently touch or
brush by the touchpad with the heel of my hand. All sorts of bad things
happen like the cursor jumping away or (sometimes unknowingly) pasting
clipboard content into whatever file I have open.
I've made numerous attempts to turn off my touchpad including what I
could find and install in the Ubuntu Software Center such as
TouchFreeze, which is supposed to freeze the touchpad when you type and
it doesn't, and other pointing device controls.
This problem has messed up some of my program editing and is a real PITA.
Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it?
TIA.......Ron
