Latitude 3550: Touchpad freezes the display on Ubuntu 14.04

I regularly get a frozen view by pointing and clicking using the touchpad. Mouse and keyboard are no longer available. I can unlock it easily using Ctrl-Alt-F2 and then again with Ctrl-Alt-F7 and continue to work like nothing happened.

In addition, the mouse pointer jump unexpectedly at the edge of the screen from time to time.

It happened yet when you use an external USB mouse. I have not installed the drivers from DELL for ubuntu and it seems that the grains do not match and I'm hesitant (I 3.13.0 - 24 but I have 3.13.0 - 73).

The installation of ubuntu was made from a USB on a Latitude with Windows 7 preinstalled. Windows were shattered and Ubuntu is the only OS on the drive.

> uname - a
Kna5 3.13.0 - 73-generic #116 - Ubuntu Linux SMP Thu Dec 4 15:31:30 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The problem disappeared after the installation of ubuntu15.10

    I have a complaint on my Mac Book Pro. I bought my computer in January 2016 and it has two problems: the first is the display of the retina that has many traces of the keyboard and as many times it freezes. I have looked for help on the local Apple Store and support too, but it did not help. I would like you help me solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support. If you can't find any help on the Apple Store, then I don't know what you expect to find here. We have no way to check for problems you have described or any additional hardware, etc.

  • On Satellite M40-223 some games make the display freeze

    Hello
    I have a Satellite M40-223 with an Ati Radeon X 600 is.
    Some games (such as shockwave, world of warcraft games or never)
    Winter Nights 2) make freeze display and the crash of the laptop
    (accidents do happen after the same amount). I downloaded the drivers
    on the toshiba site (16/11/05, 6.14.10.6534 drivers) and nothing has
    has changed. Then I downloaded the latest drivers from the ati site
    (http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/) and removed the older
    (following the instructions of ati). The display freezes always but
    Sometimes the VPU recover the previous session.
    What should I do?
    I will try to uninstall these drivers and install the ones toshiba
    Once again? When I installed the drivers from toshiba for the first
    I did use uninstaller first, time could this affect the most recent configuration?

    I will try to use the omega drivers?

    Best regards

    Hello

    It s not advised not to use the graphics driver from Toshiba. The other drivers don't support the overheating protection. The games are a high performance programs. If these applications are running on the laptop all devices must operate with maximum performance and produce a lot of heat. The high temperature could be responsible for this gel and close downs.

    I read in the forum that you can install the other drivers (not Toshiba) at your own risk.
    I think you should check the fans for dust and debris.
    Sometimes the cooling modules may not cool properly because the dust and, therefore, these problems occur.
    Additional do not forget that there is enough free space around the laptop to the airflow correctly

  • Satellite A500 keyboard and Touchpad freeze but the computer is still active

    Hi, I hope that some might be able to help me with this frustrating problem.

    Keyboard and mouse on my laptop have, during the last 4 months, been freezing almost randomly.

    This problem occurs only with the keyboard and notebook computer touchpad. If I use an external USB mouse, I have no problem.

    Please note that this is not all the freezing system. Once the keyb + touchpad freeze has occurred, I can always plug in a USB mouse and continue to use the computer.

    I have windows 7 64-bit.

    And what model of laptop do you have?
    Are you using the Toshiba recovery image or your own installation of the OS?

  • I have an Acer Aspire E 11 and since the evolution of Windows 10 freezes the cursor of the touchpad

    My cursor touchpad freezes after 20 minutes use, this has only started since the evolution of Windows 10. I stopped manually and then wait a few moments before restarting, 9 times out of 10 it will work again, sometimes longer than the aforementioned 20 mins

    A driver is a piece of software. Without the correct driver, you, me or the best store in the world cannot ix it.

    Download the right driver for Windows 10.

    Before installing the new driver, go to configuration/program of control panel & features and uninstall the old driver, reboot, and then install the new driver.

  • Changing the display on a latitude D600

    I have a dell latitude d600 with a quantra display. Is it possible to change brand as long as the display fits my d600? This is my first laptop and there wirelsss, which is one of the reasons that I bought for my Ham radio programs. I don't know if a Phillips or a Samsung or something along that line will fit, because the graphics card is the radeon 9000 I think. It is a 14.1 "display.  Thanks again for all the help in advance.

    Hi Gerry951,

    You can check the specifications of the Latitude D600 display in the image below:

    We have not tested the views of another brand. So it may or may not work. Replacement of a laptop screen is not a replaceable unit. However, if you are comfortable replace, you can refer to the manual for detailed instructions: http://bit.ly/Vh1D8E

    I hope this helps.

  • The Desktop tab in the display properties freezes computer

    I have Windows XP, SP3. When I try to change the wallpaper by clicking on the Office tab lock. Nothing happens. If I try to close the display properties, I get a message saying that he does not, with RunDLL32.exe in the title bar. The other tabs in display properties work fine. I've run several virus and malware detection programs and they found nothing. No idea what's happening, and how can I solve this problem?

    I had the same problem. Finally I started to think: why did this happen? I searched the registry for "Wallpaper" and maybe one of the proposed mentions it's a timeout to 20000 in relationship with the module property of the wallpaper (which units I don't know), so I left the display properties > Desktop tab in the State "suspended" over lunch. When I came back to it the destop by bike through the regular options (so you can choose one of them). I then went through and find my own picture of a hummingbird bird, and it works fine now. Without doubt, I deleted the picture bird Hummingbird long ago and had forgotten this is the desktop wallpaper.

    I hope this helps.

  • Precision touchpad 7510 periodically freezes, the cursor moves its own

    Just got a new Precision Mobile Workstation 7510 a week ago. Out of the box and before installing updates or new software, the touchpad randomly every minute or so, stop answering the entry and the cursor would be very slowly thumbs itself (usually slightly crawling upward and to the right). This would happen for anywhere from a few seconds to 10 or if, before the touchpad would start working again. No change in the past week.

    The pointer stick works as usual at the time the touchpad does not.

    I tried all of the suggestions I found recommended or would think:

    • Reinstalling Windows from the original image (did this two times)
    • Reinstall the driver (I already had the last being, but I also well reinstalled and then removed and reinstalled version freshly downloaded from the latest version provided on Dell.com)
    • Disable the pointer stick
    • Deactivation of gestures
    • Unplug all devices, including the power adapter
    • Restart in Mode safe (persists, although maybe the normal touchpad driver is still loaded in Mode safe)

    I was about to call Dell (I support Pro) thinking that it is a problem material, but interesting, there is no sign of trouble in the compatible installation screen mouse Dell GUI BIOS. I guess if it's a hardware problem, it would still appear there.

    FWIW, the icon of Dell touchpad in the toolbar State system sometimes, but not always, poster touchpad entry at the center of the touchpad when this happens. The movement of the cursor is very slight - at a rate of a few millimeters to each instance, for a total of about an inch of arrow for more than 10 minutes (I'm looking at do it now while I have this post from my old machine).

    Suggestions for anything else to try before I call support and schedule a call for a touchpad/palmrest of replacement?

    Don't want to jinx it, but... it's been about 24 hours that the tech came out and replaced my touchpad and things worked great since then.

    It seems that it was a material that delivers a replacement is resolved.

    Thanks to Terry for configure sending tech support without making me go through all the hoops to talk to tech support. I have long been happy with Dell ProSupport, but Terry help me set up just to do very easily. Thank you!

    Hi Forum members,

    I'm not able to get the display of macbook to smart tv via HDMI cable.  Here are some of the conclusions that I have. Can someone please shed some light on this weird question.

    MacBook Pro Rentina 13 "El Capitan 10.11.5.

    Samsung Smart TV 48 "UA48J6200

    Crush - HDMI cable.


    -TV says 'No Signal'.

    -J' checked the cable is good since I'm able to get my Dell Latitude processors E7450 and controller display.

    -Go to Preferences > display. I see no possibility to detect the display etc...

    -Able to connect same macbook to the sony smart tv at my friend using the same cable and it's all good.

    At this point, I am not able to understand where is the problem... TV or Macbook

    Thank you.

    Hmm. Have you tried to get your friend or someone connect to your Samsung Smart TV?  It does seem like your Macbook or the cable are the issue.

    Edit: actually re read your post. I think that to see the option detect go to Preferences > poster under view press on and hold down the option key. bottom right, it should appear.

  • Portege 4000 - how to install the display driver for XP?

    Hi-

    I did a clean install of XP Portege 4000. The system has been previously default 98SE.

    Noticed that there is a yellow exclamation point in other devices about the video controller (VGA compatible). I downloaded the display on the Toshiba site driver (if it is the right thing?), but can't seem to install. There is no setup.exe to help me.

    My XP screen covers only 3/4 or more of the screen total, so that something is wrong somewhere...

    Hello

    No, Toshiba don't support Linux or Ubuntu on the Portege 4000 and you can t find drivers for it on the Toshiba page. Only Windows drivers are available.

    I m not an expert in Linux, but as far as I know you don t need additional graphic driver for Ubuntu. You should only change the resolution of the screen or something in the settings of the screen. I had the same problem on the first time I used Linux and I could solve it without additional driver but I put t know how I did it :(

    Good bye
