   - Disabling/enabling  double-clicks in the synaptic touchpad. Randomly.

All of these symthoms are more or less randomly. As far as I can tell, 
everything is ok before suspending but does Random Nasty Things(tm) 
after coming out from suspension.

Well, at least system clock works better than in 2.6.10.
I will try to deactivate the main kernel lock thingie and see if that helps.
   

You appear to have about five bugs here.  Do any of them remain in
2.6.12-rc1?
 

Well, one thing outstands: the synaptic touchpad is now really 
comfortable to use. Almost everything works, including simple and double 
clicks, and scrolling. Dragging is still broken. I must note I'm now 
using a synaptic Xinput driver, as suggested.

The system seems much more stable in regard to suspension/resuming. The 
USB subsystem has kept working the first time I suspended and everything 
came back perfect. The second one in a row, the USB subsystem was 
halted, but doing a "modprobe -r uhci_hcd; modprobe uhci_hcd" made my 
USB periferals (keyboard and mouse) work again.

As for the battery charging pattern, I can't say anything definitive, 
but it looks good ATM.

No more "Ramdom Nasty Things(tm)", the clock works ok and there are no 
issues with proccess spawning.

9/10?

Let's go for 10/10.  I assume that dragging _used_ to work, yes?

Also, I'd consider it a regression that you had to go and find new X

Hi!

 I just compiled 2.6.11 from a 2.6.10 configuration for a desktop 
 machine (with kernel preemption activated).
 Doing a make oldconfig bring some new options. I selected the default 
 value (for my system) for them, so I keep configuring make great 
 kernel lock preemtive to true (complete kernel configuration 
 follows).
 
 Apart from the ALPS touchpad thing (see 2.6.11: touchpad 
 unresponsive), the new kernel keeps:

3 different problems, I'd say.

- Setting randomly last battery full charge to a huge value 
 (example: 400 Ah when max battery capacity is 38 Ah) so I get random 
 charging/discharging timing patterns

try echo platform  disk.

- Locking softly the system: for example, preventing new 
proceses from spawning. For example, if I suspend the laptop while in 
 Xwindows, resuming will keep X but new proceses can't be started. 
 Changing to a virtual console doesn't get past the login step, as a 
 new shell can't be started.

Happens to me sometime (and misdetection of ac status too, although I
rmmod/insmod ac on suspend script). For me is not related to suspend, nor to
preempt. 

Try to put a

That's an ACPI problem, I assume?

Is there no oops trace?

Could you switch to a vc, hit alt-sysrq-t and reboot, see if you get an
all-task backtrace in the kernel logs and of so, send it?

  All of these symthoms are more or less randomly. As far as I can tell, 
  everything is ok before suspending but does Random Nasty Things(tm) 
  after coming out from suspension.
