[xubuntu-users] Workaround for touchpad problems

[Joshua O'Leary]

Hello,
I noticed that in the 12.04 release, there are some minor touchpad 
problems that occur occasionally - the right scrolling stops working, 
and the cursor moves at a faster rate than normal. After experimenting, 
I found that the best solution is to add these lines to  /etc/rc.local 
(before the line 'exit 0'):

# Workaround for occasional touchpad problems
rmmod psmouse
sleep 1
modprobe psmouse

It should hopefully remove, and reload the touchpad driver.
Hope this is of some help to anybody else with similar problems.
Joshua
