Cursor freezes for 5 secs every now and then
- by user20560
I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) on my new Thinkpad Edge 11 laptop from Lenovo with the following specs:
Processor type AMD Athlon II Neo
Processor Speed 1.8 GHz
Memory Type DDR3 SDRAM
RAM 2048 MB
Hard Drive Type HDD
Harddisk 250 GB
Grafic processor ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6310
Ubuntu has found all my hardware and it works perfectly. I have one irritating problem though: From time to time (sometimes every minute, other times every hour)the cursor freezes for about 5 sec. This happens independently from the number of processes running on the laptop. It's only the cursor that freezes - I can still tab between windows and use the keyboard.
I've installed GPointingDeviceSettings, activating the trackpoint, which btw works perfectly. Also I have installed the ATI Catalyst proprietary display driver.
Anyone has an idea of whats wrong?
Thank you in advance
Best regards,
Jens
