Advice from the field : try dusting a jumpy touchpad with chalkdust. --SJ, who is looking for a cite...<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 7:50 AM, Bryan Berry <<a href="mailto:bryan.berry@gmail.com">bryan.berry@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

come up<br>
<br>
1. We are having a lot of trouble w/ jumpy cursors. You know where the<br>
touchpad behaves erratically. Is there an easy fix to this problem?<br>
<br>
we are using build 703, MP machines, and firmware Q2d14. We have the<br>
kids hold down the 4 corner buttons as recommended in the XO user guide<br>
but that doesn't seem to consistently fix the problem.<br>
<br>
Dust is an issue at the schools but that can't explain the high rate of<br>
jumpy cursors. Please assist<br>
<br>
Suggestions?<br>
<br>
2. For future reference: In general the kids and teachers find it quite<br>
confusing when they move the cursor to the corners of the screen and the<br>
Sugar frame pops up. The kids have learned the top row keys very quickly<br>
- faster than I thought - and they find the frame popping up quite<br>
confusing. They have learned to use the frame button already.<br>
<br>
pictures to come and a full write-up, I promise!<br>
