Same on my macbook C2D x86_64. But here follows an explanation. Try unloading "applesmc" module. Mplayer is getting input from the macbook accelerometer that act as joystick. When you touch the keyboard or just the laptop case there is a little motion detected by the accelerometer. Then a joystick event is generated and processed by mplayer causing the mess.
Try it when applesmc is loaded and mplayer running: tap the laptop case in different places to see different joystick movements :) In any case I believe this is a bug: applesmc is way too useful to unload it just for mplayer. Mplayer should be more "smooth" to joystick events. I guess other packages are affected by this issue. -- spurious keyboard input on intel macbook to blobwars and mplayer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
