This sound very weird, but i'll try to explain it as good as i can.

When i hit a key on my laptops keyboard, i cannot move my mouse for a split second.

I can replicate this by typing and trying to move the mouse mean while.

but this is very annoying if you e.g. I hit ctrl+c and trying to move the mouse afterwards or opening a tab, that the mouse just freezes for a while.


System: Ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-27-generic
Computer HP Compaq 6530b laptop, with 3gb of ram.

go to system ---> preferences ---> mouse and check if the 'disable touchpad while typing' option is enabled. if it is, try disabling it and see what happens.
