Running ubuntu 12.04
Since an update today, the mousecursor is unusable.
I tried gdm, lightdm, xfce4.
All the same issue, even after a apt-get remove --purge of gnome, unity, xfce4, xorg, etc...n so that no GUI starts up and a reinstall of xfce4.
The issue is always the same, from the GUI login screen, and after login in the desktop environment. The mouse cursor is only moveable in a band thinner than an inch wide on the left side of the screen, a right mouse click, pops up a menu on the far right side of the screen.
I also tried removing and reinstalling the synaptics driver, but no luck.
In windows 7 there is no such problem on this machine.
This is a dell E6420 latitude.
The machine is unusable in ubuntu GUI like this.
Thanks for looking into this.
