It seems the UI's model is directly implemented in a SQLite DB, so every UI call is blocked while accessing a DB. Nevertheless, I don't understand why the DB processing can't take place on a separate thread that updates the UI. The UI could show old information and still remain responsive! This, v

I have the same problem. It seems to occur after leaving the machine idle for a while, and closing the lid. (Though this doesn't suspend, just switches off the screen) When I open it again the mouse pointer seems to randomly cycle between 3 types of behaviour. The first is that described by Étienn

I can confirm this with an Apple MacBook and remote control. Closing the lid initiates DPMS Off, pressing buttons on the remote (mapped to XF86Media* multimedia keys) causes DPMS on. I agree it seems to be g-p-m, not gnome-screensaver, that's doing this. All I could do to mitigate it is to set the

Well, pb_fnmode has disappeared completely from /sys/module/usbhid/parameters. Gentoo wiki to the rescue: the parameter is now set in the hid module, so should be adjusted there. Since usbhid won't load at all with that parameter and every piece of information about changing FN key behaviour stil

OK, fixed for 2.6.20-12 and possibly earlier: usbhid complaining about pb_fnmode option not being supported. That option was set in /etc/modprobe.d/touchpad (by me, not by the system) so that pressing F1 gave F1 instead of . By default you need to do FN+F1. I think this is new, as usbhid didn't co
