Sluggish/unresponsive trackpad on pre-unibody MacBook Pro
- by Art
I am running Ubuntu Natty Narwhal on pre-unibody MacBook Pro (2007 I believe).
There seems to be a problem with trackpad - it barely works, in order to move cursor you have to move your finger a lot, and it terminates the 'gestures' abruptly - say you are moving the cursor with your finger and out of the blue it just stops, although the finger is still in contact with the surface of the trackpad.
Those issues seem to dissapear as soon as I boot Mac OS X, so I suspect it is something Ubuntu-specific.
Also, if I try to move the cursor with not just fingertip but increase the contact area, it seems to work just fine, although it is hardly convenient.
