Well... 2.6.16-rc4 still hasn't fixed it, and neither did usb-handoff (I |
| 22 |
doubted it would as both keyboard and mouse are ps2, not usb, and I have |
| 23 |
legacy USB turned off in the BIOS, still worth a try). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
However, I've narrowed it down to precisely the git-snapshot it happened |
| 26 |
with. 2.6.15-git10 works, 2.6.15-git11 doesn't. (The git# indicates the |
| 27 |
Linus development day after the named release, so that's the snapshots for |
| 28 |
10 and 11 days after 2.6.15 -- there are 12 snapshots between .15 and |
| 29 |
.16-rc1, so it was close to the rc1 coming out.) |

I gave up tracing it myself beyond that, but I'll be filing the bug |
| 32 |
probably after work 2nite, and they shouldn't have any difficulty, given I |
| 33 |
narrowed it down to the day and they know what went in that day and have |
| 34 |
a better idea what could affect it. |

I'm running -git10 as I type this. Something's happened to alsa with it, |
| 37 |
but that's probably fixed by rc4. It's also possible that I chose the |
| 38 |
wrong config option (there's now a choice for old alsa API), but I'm not |
| 39 |
going to bother with looking at that until the keyboard bug gets worked |
| 40 |
out. Anyway, back to .15.4 after I check a couple of groups, then maybe a |
| 41 |
half hour nap b4 work. |
