I have done a typical installation of Ubuntu 12.04 precise, but i seem to have a small issue. When i type anything in the keyboard or when i'm playing a game that requires two hands (e.g. Nexuiz) the mouse doesn't respond. So, for example in Nexuiz, when i am moving i can't turn around at all.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you have "Disable touchpad while typing" checked in the "Mouse & Touchpad" system settings area. Have you checked this?

Hi in the Mouse and Touchpad system settings area, it has only one tab Mouse – George Jun 6 '12 at 10:04
Out of curiosity, what mouse & keyboard are you using? Are they plugged in the same USB host? – ThoughtCoder Jun 6 '12 at 10:06

There is a way, this is a known bug, but not fixed yet. Basically this is caused by the mouseemu. You just have to kill it or to remove it.

Here is the launchpad page : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mouseemu/+bug/113344
