Package: i8kutils Version: 1.33 Severity: normal Hi,
I know this package is orphaned, but found some information that might be interesting for other kernel related bugs, like #507635. When I start i8kmon service, touchpad becomes randomly irresponsive and affects user experience. This bug happens both in X and console mode, but it happens more often when using a graphical session. I'm writing this bug from the console with gpm (no X processes running). One has to intensively use the touchpad with such settings to reproduce this behaviour. During an X session it's much more frequent. Steps to reproduce it: 1) Load the i8k module 2) Enable i8kmon service in /etc/default/i8kmon 3) Start i8kmon service Entries appear in /var/log/messages: May 15 19:29:12 kotetsu kernel: [ 1108.888889] psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away. [...] May 15 19:31:02 kotetsu kernel: [ 1218.750811] psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 4 bytes away. [...] May 15 19:31:02 kotetsu kernel: [ 1218.750811] psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 4 bytes away. This issue goes away if i8kmon service is stopped. Unloading i8k module is not necessary. I'm writing from a Dell Inspiron 14z and psmouse module is loaded with default options.
