This is true for the synaptics touchpad, but it causes a terrible problem: I started using Linux on this laptop since I started with Linux in 2008 with Ubuntu 8.04 based on the 2.6.24 kernel. Ever since kernels higher than this one I've had an issue of keyboard repeat: keys behave as if they would still be pressed when released! Usually I just accepted this problem (which happened on occasions). The solution was simply to press another key to "un-jam" the one repeating itself. You can imagine this being very annoying when the delete or backspace key gets jammed... This is an old problem in the kernel and X : http://ajaxxx.livejournal.com/62378.html https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/124406?comments=all Unfortunately for me, by passing the kernel the nomux option, now I can't un-jam the key that keeps repeating!...in fact, I loose full control of the keyboard and touchpad when this happens...only the power button works (alternatively I can use an USB mouse to try to remedy the situation). I don't know what to do to solve this problem...the first link seems to have some ideas, but I don't know if work has gone into solving this rather obscure issue. I'll probably go back to using evdev to handle my touchpad for the time being Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
