Hi Please see bug 1597 ( https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597 )
Syndaemon, the synaptics touchpad daemon, will suddenly/randomly use 100% CPU when the disable when typing option is set.
It requires testing x86_64 in Mageia 1 by reproducing the bug and testing with the update candidate but it seems we don't have the correct hardware in QA to do so.
Could somebody please test this x86_64 and confirm the fix so that the update can be validated.
Alternately please send new laptop to... ;) Thankyou Claire
