Since 4.0.0-rc something mu laptop has some mouse /keyboard problems.
When I play KDE kpatience, a card game, card stick to my
mousepointer: left
mouse button down on a card, move mouse pointer and card to another
place.
left mouse button up to drop the card. This should drop the card,
but often
the mouse button up events gets stuck somewhere until I move he mouse
pointer a little bit.
In web based mail clients something similar happens when I drag mail to
another folder.
Sometime after I start a xterm and start typing, the letters don't
appear
until move the mouse pointer.
Bisecting is out of the question. This kernel realease was so
dramatic I was
glad to have functioning kde screen when rc4 arrived.
My laptop is a Dell Latitude D430, it has a touchpad and a pointer
an two
sets of buttons.
dmesg

Linus just merged 2 fixes to ALPS driver that might help you. Could
you please try compiling tip of the tree and telling me if it fixes
your issue?
I am at rc.7 and the problem is still there. But maybe you can get
away with "user error". Here is a picture of the layout of my laptop:

Lets call the blue thing ts. The buttons directly beneath the keys
ts-l and ts-r. For the touchpad tp, tp-l and tp-r. And because one can
never have to many input devices um, um-l and um-r for a usb mouse.
When I play kpatience and stick to one device ts or ts-l or mp and
mp-l no problems arise. I can also mix devices for example um and
tp-l. There are several combinations. Only one of these ts and tp-l
show the problematic behavior. This is the way i use my laptop (user
error?)
Ok, this one is a regression which is caused by:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c?id=04aae283ba6a8cd4851d937bf9c6d6ef0361d794
I've attached a fix which I will formally send / submit upstream in a
few minutes too.
This patch fixes the regression on my laptop. Thanks for the quick response.
