I recently got my hands on a brand new HP Envy 14 to play with. First thing I did was kill 7 and install 10.04 Desktop x64. Everything works out of the box (Sound, video, wifi, ethernet, buttons, etc)... except for the touchpad.
The touchpad "works", but is nearly useless to me due to how sensitive and jittery it is. For Example: the click buttons are also touchpad, and when I try to click with the side of my thumb (What I normally use), it ends up pushing my cursor around instead of clicking. The rest of the time I just find the cursor jumping about (probably because I looked at the pad wrong) randomly.
I went into System > Preference > Mouse and turned the sensitivity down all the way to low, disabled the touchpad while typing (Which didn't seem to disable), disabled mouse clicks with touchpad and disable scrolling. That prevents me from getting random "clicks" and the scroll bar going crazy... but otherwise this is still useless.
Anyone have any way to turn this down to a more tolerable level?
