hi, how to reproduce: 1) press an alphanumeric key 2) press a multimedia key (in my case any of the keys that control the volume) 3) move the mouse result: mouse cursor jumps immediately to the left upper corner of the screen i have an external lenovo usb keyboard with trackpoint. xinput output: Lite-On Technology Corp. ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] this bug doesn't occur with my internal keyboard, which has a trackpoint and multimedia keys as well. other people with usb keyboard mouse combos observed this behavior too: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86344 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/513852
two things i forgot to add: OS:Linux cl-laptop 2.6.32-ARCH x86_64 and they keyboard is configured via hal.
already fixed, thanks for the bug report though. commit 6f265d55a61f9be323583b8acacae783be72bda9 Refs: xorg-server-1.7.99.2-40-g6f265d5 Author: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> AuthorDate: Tue Jan 5 13:15:25 2010 +1000 Commit: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> CommitDate: Tue Jan 5 14:01:51 2010 -0800 dix: don't update the slave coordinates from the VCK. A keyboard event from a device with both valuators and keys will be posted through the VCK. In this case, do not update the slave device coordinates from the VCK - they're always 0/0. Leave them as-is, for the next pointer event will continue where it left.
