MAC Magic Mouse on Ubuntu 9.10

[amd-64]

On Ubuntu 9.10 with the patched kernel the Magic Mouse was working very well.

Now I upgraded to 10.04.
BT and Magic Mouse is working, but not the touchpad on the Magic Mouse.

So I installed 'magicmouse-kernel-source', rebootet and loaded the module. Now the touchpad at the mouse is working but the mouse pointer is jumping around the screen.

The same with 'multitouch-kernel-source'. Any ideas?

It was working well for me until I updated two days ago. Now i can report the same as schmidberger, the pointer is too jumpy/jittery making it almost impossible to use, but the multitouch functionality works fine.

I had the same problem. "magicmouse-kernel-source" is not longer update. I installed "multitouch-kernel-source" and now works fine.

Run the following to install:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chasedouglas/multitouch
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install multitouch-kernel-source

Hmmm... Yesterday i was able to work with the Magic Mouse. Today I can't. The cursor is stuck to the upper left corner of the screen. It doesn't move when i move the mouse. Only when i touch the surface of the mouse. It looks like that i'm able to move the cursor by touching the surface. But the movement is very jittery.

So I installed multitouch-kernel-source out of the Multitouch-PPA. By installing the multitouch-kernel-source package the magicmouse-kernel-source has been removed. But I still have the same problem...

What kernel module is running in your system?

I just uninstall "multitouchd", "magicmouse-kernel-source" and install "multi-kernel-source".

I've lucid lynx with the lastest kernel 2.6.32-22-generic

I have the exact same problem. Are there any workarounds for this problem yet?

This did not work for me. Magic mouse is still jumpy across the screen but the multitouch works fine. Does this has to do with X11 settings? I have no xorg.conf.

BTW, another BT mouse (Logitech) works fine.

Thank you Albertoi. Unfortunately this does not work for me either.. Looking forward to new ideas on this issue.

I reported the issue to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15928 and wrote on linux-input@vger.kernel.org about it. Unfortunately I didn't get an answer yet.
