I then ran: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinputДЄnd this time it worked. This installed a whole lot of xserver-xorg packages. I wanted to try this, so I typed: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinputДЄnd I got a message about broken dependencies, but it also said that the above package depended on xserver-xorg-core, so I tried running: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core Anyway, on the bug report page, a guy called Juan Hernandez (juanhm) suggested that installing xserver-xorg-input-libinput worked for him. Apparently it is a major bug, has been since Ubuntu 14.04. Well, following advice from user WinEunuuchs2Unix, I DID google this. For the sake of my sanity, please help me before I smash up my laptop.ДЄs requested, xinput list gives me the following: вЋЎ Virtual core pointer id=2 Is there anything else I can try? This is driving me insane.

And in any case as soon as I reboot the machine, synclient resets back to defaults ( FingerLow=25, FingerHigh=30), so even if they did work I would have to set them every time I rebooted the machine! I read somewhere that the following changes to synclient would fix it: synclient FingerLow=9 For example, if I want to click on something that is in the middle of the screen, I click, but for some reason Ubuntu THINKS I have clicked at the bottom Left-Hand corner of the screen, and thus opens the rubbish bin.

If I use a USB mouse, everything works fine, but if I use a touchpad it is very hard to control.

I am having major issues with Ubuntu touchpad on a Dell Latitude 3570 Laptop.
