Hi
I get similar sometimes. I just circle my finger on the touchpad til the
cursor follows my movements. Only takes a sec or 2

Last week I installed Feisty 7.04 on my Dell Latitude c840 laptop. I was
very impressed that most things worked auto-magically without manual
configuration. However, support for my laptop's touchpad seems to be
very lacking. I don't have a desk, so using an external mouse isn't
really possible.
The issue is that the mouse cursor has a mind of its own, wandering to
(and getting stuck in) either the upper-right or lower-left corner of
the screen. I've seen others post similar reports, but so far I haven't
seen any resolution that works on my laptop.

I have a Dell Latitude C600 running Feisty and XP in dualboot. Both
OSes have the same issues. I also had the problem with Windows 2000 and
Mandriva Linux on this machine. The problem seems to come from the flat
cable that connects the touchpad to the motherboard. I also have a
problem with my keyboard (same connector type). Pushing against the
handrest seems to temporarily fix the problem...
