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...
