SOLVED My touchpad mouse is jittery in R8

[thriftee]

I try to move it somewhere on the screen, but its hard to get it to stay put, even though I'm not moving my finger.  I guess its a good thing if the problems I'm having are not major, huh?

But it does make it difficult to for example bring up a map and try to zoom in or out.

Any ideas what I might try to fix it?

PS: Its not always jittery.  I suspended, and then came back and am using the machine again, and now it seems ok.  If I knew a way to reset it when it gets jittery that would help.

The R8 LXDE version is not haveing the problem, so I'll mark this solved.
