Alternative to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Post by KIMW »

I always had problems with the mouse pointer which jumps erratically and recently I found a method which worked for little while, see comment 32, but does not anymore.
In fact now my touchpad does not work at all. Should I reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics or is there an alternative?

Have you had some time to do a test?
