Quite simply, it's as you said - we're really busy. We have over 1500 X.org bugs, and it's hard to get to every single one. I typically focus my time on bug reports that are known to affect the current development version, and that already have all the necessary files attached. To help people get bugs up to a reviewable state, I've created some scripts to auto-respond and ask for files, request users test, etc. In fact, my comment #6 was from one of these scripts. If the request goes unanswered, then the bug is automatically closed as expired after 30 days. > I'll be happy to file it again. I do update Ubuntu every day and have > noticed no improvement.

Many bugs, especially keyboard and mouse bugs, got fixed automatically when we pulled new code from upstream for Jaunty. The path a bug takes is different if it is still in the development version, vs. if it's fixed there, so we wait on putting time into a bug until we know what path it needs to go. Unfortunately, given that Jaunty is nearly released, if you find it is solved there, we probably wouldn't bother to backport the fix to Intrepid at this point, we'd just suggest people upgrade. Backporting fixes is pretty time intensive. If by chance you find the issue still exists in Jaunty, the next step for us would be to forward the bug upstream. You are welcome to bypass us entirely, and file it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org. If you then give us the bug id#, we can track it and pull in the fix to Karmic (and *maybe* Jaunty if the fix looks safe enough) when it becomes available. -- Repeating arrow keys change to numbers.
