Hmm... google/linux lists this as the first entry in a search for 2.6.16 atkbd, the -r1 shortlog (as posted on LWN, this is an excerpt of the entries for this single guy): Dmitry Torokhov: Input: i8042 - disable MUX mode for Sharp MM20 Input: i8042 - convert to the new platform device interface Input: atkbd - don't lose keymap settings when reconnecting keyboard Input: HID - fix an oops in PID initialization code Input: HID - add more simulation usages The i8042 is a dependency activated by atkbd, and of course the whole thing is part of the Human Interface Driver interface, so there's a very good chance one of those entries is the culprit. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
