We all know that the Atrix has a very annoying problem, where the multitouch will randomly 'mess up' after 15 seconds. This was implemented to stop raindrops from selecting random stuff when it was raining. It was a driver used in the Motorola Defy as it was waterproof and was ported over to the Atrix. However, as the Atrix wasn't waterproof, it created annoying problems, especially when gaming.

Here's a video of the problem:

You can try it yourself, it's very annoying.

But there's finally a fix!

Huge thanks to nok07635 who came up with the tweak!

Simply flash the attached .zip from recovery and voila!

The .zip should work with any ROM's, but hasn't been tested on all ROM's. It works on Neutrino as it's been tested, but I don't see why it shouldn't work on other Blur based ROM's as well.

Enjoy! :)

It should work on ANY ROM, CM7 or Blur. In OP, I just mentioned that it hasn't been tested for Blur ROM's yet, but I would be genuinely surprised if it didn't work.

Both CM7 and Blur ROM's have the same 'touchpad' files, so it should work for both.

Worked perfectly! Thank you very much! Feels like I have a completely new phone that is awesome for gaming now! Thank God for XDA devs because Motorolla devs are dumb and clueless!

thank you very much for this:D i've been looking for a fix for a long time, since most games aren't playable due to this 'feature'.

Glad to see developers actively solving problems instead of just applying themes.

    Yes it does, for anyone else wondering this (as I was; I just checked in my 20130330 version). FWIW, all the /system/etc/touchpad/2{1,2,3}/touchpad.cfg files have:
    TCHAUTOCAL=0
    NUMTOUCH=5
    in MROM. (and yay I finally have a non-dev forum post to give a useful reply; 9 to go...)

    Why isn't this in the development section? instead of being buried in the general section
