I have Knoppix 6.7 installed on a USB boot drive created from the CD running on an Acer Aspire 7741Z laptop.

The cursor fairly consistently jumps around when typing. This is subjective, and the cursor is definitely temperamental with Windows 7 on the laptop, I'm pretty sure it is more consistently worse with Knoppix 6.7.

I had the same issue with ubuntu 11.10 and I'm not 100% sure about this, but seems the cursor is better after converting the touchpad to a regular mouse control (still used the touchpad).

Anyone have a similar issue with the cursor jumping around more than normal on a laptop with a touchpad? I'm really not sure this has anything to do with the touchpad, but is irritating.

After this post, I'm going to try posting with Windows 7 on the same laptop and observe the behavior.
