ubuntu mouse cursor jumping
The mouse cursor moves all on its own and disrupts web pages. My Dell Latitude 3120 has a touchscreen and touchpad (two pointers) but my xinput list
shows 4 slave pointers so there may be a conflict. I do not have a mouse and I am not sure of which pointer is for the touchscreen.
mm@mm-dell-lpt:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DELL0A33:00 04F3:3082 Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DELL0A33:00 04F3:3082 Touchpad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ WDHT1F01:00 2575:0907 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard
I have read "Dell Precision and XPS Ubuntu Touchpad Fix: Solutions for Touchpad and Mouse Issues on Ubuntu" but this article references different devices and the solutions suggested do not function on my machine.
Is their a simple way to block some of these pointing devices because there seems to be some conflicts?
Thank you, Larry
