Laptop touchpad cursor freezes.

In my arch box, sometimes, my laptop's touchpad can't control the cursor in the middle of my session. Moving my finger over the touchpad makes it scroll instead. All mouse buttons and keyboard shortcuts still work. This is remedied by a reboot. What should I do to fix the problem? I am on a dell studio 1555.

Thanks,
sakekasi

Re: Laptop touchpad cursor freezes.

Try if the problem disappears if you remove the scrolling part from your configuration.
The configuration file is located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf.
