Okay, long story short, I previously had a problem with my tablet's cursor "jumping" all over the place: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29074286 The solution was to either update to a later version of xorg or to apply a patch. Because Arch Linux's system for building packages is fairly intuitive to use, I was able to build and install an xorg-server package with the patches applied, and was then able to transparently upgrade to the fixed version of xorg during a routine system upgrade. However, since then Arch Linux has proven to be far too experimental for my tastes, especially with the large number of invasive changes for the core system and startup routines, which left me afraid that I would eventually install package updates and then be unable to boot my OS afterwords. The final straw was an upgrade to FontConfig, which caused a critical program to crash immediately upon execution. So, I switched to Lubuntu. For a while I didn't use my tablet, but now that I have started using it again, I'm finding that the bug with the cursor jumping has returned because Ubuntu is using an earlier xorg without the fix. So, my question is this: Is there an easy way to do one of the following: 1) Compile and install a patched version of xorg through the normal package-management system 2) Install a package for an upstream version of xorg And if there is no easy solution to the above, does anyone have a patched xorg package for x86_64 Precise Pangolin? |
