Well... 2.6.16-rc4 still hasn't fixed it, and neither did usb-handoff (I doubted it would as both keyboard and mouse are ps2, not usb, and I have legacy USB turned off in the BIOS, still worth a try). However, I've narrowed it down to precisely the git-snapshot it happened with. 2.6.15-git10 works, 2.6.15-git11 doesn't. (The git# indicates the Linus development day after the named release, so that's the snapshots for 10 and 11 days after 2.6.15 -- there are 12 snapshots between .15 and .16-rc1, so it was close to the rc1 coming out.) I gave up tracing it myself beyond that, but I'll be filing the bug probably after work 2nite, and they shouldn't have any difficulty, given I narrowed it down to the day and they know what went in that day and have a better idea what could affect it. I'm running -git10 as I type this. Something's happened to alsa with it, but that's probably fixed by rc4. It's also possible that I chose the wrong config option (there's now a choice for old alsa API), but I'm not going to bother with looking at that until the keyboard bug gets worked out. Anyway, back to .15.4 after I check a couple of groups, then maybe a half hour nap b4 work. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
