Yes, seems as if you are right.
I mixed up kernels during testing.
This seems to be sovled with latest 20050902 patch.
Sorry for this one, I am a bit in a pressure of time...

Could you please line out the change to the older ec_burst patch by some
code.
It's very hard to pitch on the big ACPICA commits for little fixes.
ec_burst patch will be enabled in SUSE Linux 10.0 by default.
Beside lost mouse/key-strokes on some specific machines (also happen with 
ec_burst=0), I don't know of any greater harm ec_burst causes.
If you know any other issues I'd appreciate if you let me know.

Hmm, searching for something that could have fixed it in the to-akpm/broken-out
directory of Len, I don't find anything than the huge ACPICA-20050408 commit...

Thanks,
