While everything was OK for several days, the problem has just
reappeared, and a suspend + resume didn't change anything. Like
when the problem first occurred, it occurs in the train (whether
it is moving or not). But I don't see why a train would have an
influence on the touchpad.

Notes:
  * Same problem in the text virtual terminals, so that it is not
    specific to X.
  * The DualPoint Stick doesn't have such a problem.
