I'm having a problem with my Acer Aspire V5-131's Touchpads that appears to be related to Ubermix 1.32, to which we recently updated. While students are using the netbooks the mouse cursor starts to jitter on the screen (and sometimes slowly drifts to the left) without anyone touching it. Turning the mouse off and then on using the Fn+F7 does not fix the issue. Observing a classroom with the issue showed that about of third of the 40 netbooks had the issue over the course of 4 class periods. The teacher in the room reported that it apparently also occurred when the netbooks were running Ubermix 1.082.
While the issue is occurring, the touchpad acts like it is in multi-touch mode even if only a single finger is used. Trying to move the mouse with a single finger ends up just scrolling the page or launcher. None of the settings configurable using "synclient" command utility solve the problem, but if two finger scrolling is turned off the mouse just totally stops responding to input.
I have noticed that those netbooks which have the problem more often are using Synaptics Touchpad hardware instead of the ELANtech Touchpad (which is also a shipping hardware config).
The only working solution is to close the lid of the netbook, wait 5-10 seconds, then open the lid. Once the netbook resumes the problem no longer exists.
One additional piece of information is that neither the tech support person at the site nor I can get the problem to happen. It only happens to students.
