Bug 449042 – xorg-server, tslib, xinput - Pointer reappears in lower right hand corner after touchscreen tap followed by mouse move

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Matthew Schultz 2012-12-28 13:56:58 UTC]

When the you tap a touchscreen anywhere and then move the mouse, the pointer will always reappear in the lower right hand corner of the screen instead of where you last tapped the screen which is where the pointer currently is.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
pointer reappears in the lower right hand corner of the screen after tapping the touchscreen and moving the mouse.

Expected Results:  
pointer should move from the current position (after tapping the touchscreen) instead of reappearing in the lower right hand corner of the screen after moving the mouse.

I submitted a bug to upstream as well: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58969

[Comment 2 Matt Turner 2018-11-01 21:16:26 UTC]

tslib support is gone from xserver 1.20. Marking as obsolete.
