First install and disappointment.

Description:
Screen is jumping while you move mouse jumps seems to be starting when you start moving mouse and then you can stop it if mouse will be at the very bottom edge of the screen and you do not move mouse.
It's something, like earthquake on full screen, you cannot read anything or work full desktop just jumps :(


Steps to reproduce:
Just install package (on desktop)
pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics

Or maybe a specific set of packages needed I was following Installation Guide from http://www.linuxveda.com/2015/04/20/arch-linux-tutorial-manual/13/



After I've done following command all became fine:
pacman -Rc xf86-input-synaptics
This task depends upon

Could we get more information on your hardware? With the shear number of people who use this package, we would have heard about this long ago if it was widespread.

Hi Doug,

Sorry this issue appears to be happening anyway just after reboot and is not connected to this package, I'm unable to figure out why this is happening. But it clears itself after some time, like if I try log-off/logon, it appears across DE and I've seen it in all fluxbox, KDE5, Gnome3 and X11 (not shure how to call it, I guess it's naked X system), It may be my hardware, but can you help me and specify what commands I should run to give you as much details as you need to determine if it's soft or hard ware issue ... ?

This really isn't the place for troubleshooting like that. Try the forums.
