Message-ID: <47452EAC.5060801@users.sourceforge.net> Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:24:28 +0100 From: "legolas558@...rs.sourceforge.net" <legolas558@...rs.sourceforge.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org CC: Pavel Machek <pavel@....cz>, mnowak@...hat.com, shaohua.li@...el.com Subject: Re: Laptop keyboard unusable when ACPI is active Hi all, some upates about this issue (see also bug 9147 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9147 ). The 'ac', 'battery' and 'thermal' modules (compiled as stand-alone) do cause the bug; it suffices that one of them (or any set of them) is loaded to trigger the bug either immediately or after some time. If none of them is loaded into memory, the bug does not happen. Also, the 'battery' module does not generate system messages although the problem is equally verified. The 'thermal' module instead, when loaded with 'modprobe thermal', causes the enter key pressed to execute the command to be indefinitively repeated into any terminal. This is currently a perfectly reproducible testcase for bug 9147. The bug has been confirmed by at least another user (with different hardware configuration); please reply for either bug addressing or confirmation. The current known best workaround to this bug is to compile all the above mentioned ACPI modules as stand-alone and to not (auto)load them (loosing their vital functionalities, since we are talking about laptops here, see http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Maxdata_Pro_7000_DX for an example of affected hardware). It is also important to note that this bug always comes with bug 8740 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8740 (also confirmed and also an ACPI issue).
