I've just build linux-2.6.14 with SBS-CM, acpi-dsdt-initrd patch and
suspend2 for my Acer Extensa 3002WLMi.
I'm not shure wether the ec_burst parameter is still necessary or not.
But in both cases there is an improvement compared to the situation I
had before. There are still keyboard events missing, but now it's one
out of 15 to 20 and not 2 to 4 out of 10.

There might be some issues with BIOS and the DSDT connected to the
problem. I've compared the data from my Acer with some informations,
Olaf Jansen-Olliges gave me. His system does not suffer from the
'missing key syndrome'.
Olaf's Acer has BIOS version 3A08. Mine came (6 months ago) with BIOS
version 3A10, which is still not available on the Acer website.
And there are some minor diffs for the DSDT too. I don't know if it's a
good idea, but I will try to modify the memory size information in the
DSDT I got from Olaf, so I can test it with my system.

Regards,

Berthold
