Bug#564219: xserver-xorg-core: xorg uses appletouch by default



> I have no idea what "appletouch" is...


$ xinput list

keyboard (3)]

The applemsc stuff is a kernel module that enables various apple hardware 
including accelerometer. It is in /dev/js0
Xorg is using it by default as pointer. So every little movement of the table 
makes the pointer to go in the center of the screen.
Ubuntu forums say to do rmmmod applesmc. But this is very stupid in my 
opinion. And it won't even work for me because i use my compiled kernel 
without modules

appletouch is just my picking up the wrong log line :-D
