keyboard and mouse laggy

Asked by Sihan Goi

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit on my i5-2400/Q65 Express/Intel 3000 graphics/16GB memory/256GB SSD system, and I'm experiencing very laggy keyboard and mouse input. This happens right from the start when I boot up the Live CD and install.

I have to type really slowly or I some keys will not get registered. Also, the mouse cursor moves around very slowly at a very low frame rate.

I've checked my keyboard and mouse settings and they seem to be fine. System monitor doesn't show any processes taking up significant CPU utilization. What else could be wrong?

I've already installed the backported video drivers from glasen's page, which fixed my video problems. However, the laggy input problem is still there.

Are there any updated chipset/USB drivers for motherboard chipset that need to be installed?

Why did you install Lucid. It's so old and the drivers aren't so great now. I suggest you install Precise. The newer drivers will probably help a lot. It's also got 5 years support wheras Lucid is EOL in April next year....

Because I'm building the Android source, and Lucid is the only supported platform.
