------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-04-30 08:52 ------- >Hard to explain, the EC (Embedded Controller) touches mouse/kbd HW large parts >of ACPI code make use of the EC(e.g. reading out temp, battery,...). The EC is >a separated microcontroller with its own firmware, so don't ask why/where >exactly the interference happens, it just happens, especially on the HPs which >(as far as I can tell) seem to have broken EC firmware. Crazy, but interesting. Do you think HP will fix this with a BIOS update or is this beyond the BIOS' functions? If there is no possible way to reflash this separate microcontrollers memory this is of course no option ;) >This is really weird. Better recheck your .config file with previous ones... I double-checked everything, the .config is identical with older kernels of mine except for CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2 - it's crazy, but my RAID won't function without a MOUSE_PS2-enabled kernel. I'm gonna ask the guys at linuxforen.de about this, a few of them know a lot as well - if they don't have a clue as well I'm gonna file another bug report about this. >The patches that should fix up most mouse interference problems on HPs can be >found here: bug #7689. Latest kernels should already have them included, but >you might want to double check, that your's also has... Thanks, I'll see if any of those patches are not in my kernel. BTW, it's plain Vanilla 2.6.21. >Can you please also attach a full dmesg output (Have you experienced any >AE_TIME errors in /var/log/messages?). "cat /var/log/messages | grep AE_" does not show anything at all. dmesg output attached. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
