If anyone implements this, please make it possible to disable the battery checks as a workaround for machines where this causes the problems I've described. It seems that on some boards, the ACPI battery state calls (is it BIOS? are those 32 bit, or what?) take too long and have interrupts locked out during that time. This is causing synaptics touch-pad pointer glitches, keyboard bounce and lockout, and even network card lockup when under heavy network load. -- If you feel like the machines are conspiring against you, then it's time to perspire against the machines. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
