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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (999, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages acpid depends on: ii libc6 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii module-init-tools 3.11-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages acpid recommends: ii acpi-support-base 0.123-1 scripts for handling base ACPI eve acpid suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
