So I hand-compiled linux-kernel 2.6.15.4 because I had to patch the kernel source (so that my digital music player (an iAudio M5) would correctly identify itself and be usable as a usb-mass-storage device).
Then I compiled again so that I could turn on DMA support for my DVD drive /dev/hdd (I had always compiled DMA support for the relevant chipset as a module before, but that ceased to work in 2.6.15.4 for some reason that I don't understand). OK, so now I can watch DVDs again without hopelessly jerky playback. But now my emacs is acting up---emacs21 and emacs-gtk-snapshot. Every 20 seconds or so, the screen spontaneously flashes and the error-message `<Scroll-Lock> is undefined' appears in the minibuffer. This did not happen before, and I have changed nothing whatever in my emacs configuration. The sole changes have been the two changes in the kernel. The behaviour is really annoying, and I have no idea what might have caused it. I tried putting this in my .emacs: (global-set-key [scroll-lock] 'noop) but no difference. Is there anyone here who could help me track down this annoyance and turn it off? It's driving me crazy .....
