I agree with Adam. There are actually 3 or 4 different 'jumpy mouse' problems and each of them will have a different fix. The faq lists all the possible fixes with the hope that it will help or solve the problem for any particular individual.
<br><br>It might be important to state that. There isn't just one bug... so one solution will not work for everyone.<br><br>We know of a fix for one particular jumpy mouse problem that WILL be in an upcoming release (>653); people who are still experiencing a problem should try that build when it comes out.

Let's clarify 2 myths:<br><br>1) 653 does not contain any specific fixes for the Touchpad. Future<br>builds in coming weeks (eg. 655?) will contain candidate fixes for<br><a href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2804" target="_blank">
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2804</a> (toucher jumping to the bottom-right<br>of the screen). Finally, it's true reflashing / updating (to any other<br>Build) does sometime partially alleviate the problem.<br><div class="Ih2E3d">
<br> > I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT YOU CAN NOT TOUCH THE TOUCHPAD DURING START<br>UP. HANDS OFF.<br></div>2) The above rumor has never been substantiated.<br>(Remember: the touchpad-jumping-to-the-bottom-right bug is intermittent)

<br>><br>> My POV is that the whole post should be removed. I have contacted mburns with my concern. I am not sure I am correct.<br>><br>> I posted a simple answer that worked for me. BUT I am not sure it will work for everyone.
<br>><br>> You can read what I did. I am sure that it is a lot easier than try to update to the 653 build. BTW, 653 is the latest build, but no OLPC Engineer has yet suggested that we all upgrade to it. It is a signed release, but still in testing.
