Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.10-4
Severity: important
When the laptop lid is opened (or maybe closed? Can't figure), acpid
starts repeatedly spawning acpi_fakekey through /etc/acpi/videobtn.sh,
which renders both X and console almost unusable. Killing acpid brings
the situation back to normal.
Under X, the mouse cursor jumps around, windows take a lot of time to
redraw or react to user input, etc. Under console, "^@" character
keeps appearing, probably because of the keypress being injected via
acpi_fakekey. It makes login impossible (however, if an user is
already logged in, the system is usable enough to kill acpid).
My laptop model is Compaq Presario CQ60. I don't have any other laptop
to see if the bug isn't hardware-specific.
This started to happen after upgrading from acpid 1.0.10-3.

Ah, sorry, I didn't notice that you weren't on the latest acpi-support package.
This file has been removed there but apparently the package hasn't migrated to
testing yet but soon will.
