Bug#564219: xserver-xorg-core: xorg uses appletouch by default
> I have no idea what "appletouch" is...
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ "appletouch" id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ "applesmc" id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ "Macintosh mouse button emulation" id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]

↳ "Power Button" id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ "Video Bus" id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ "Power Button" id=8 [slave 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
