Ok, I found discussion of this bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37812

I'll start playing with some of the ideas listed, but I don't see a good 
conclusion on it.  What kind of a fix would be accepted into the mainline?

TIA,

Eli

Re: 2.4.x WinBookXL mouse & keyboard freeze (and on Uniwill 340S2)

I have the same Problem on My Uniwill 340S2, it uses a Synaptics touchpad
and I can unlock it by pressing the power-key.

There were some drivers (kernelpatch + config-utility) for the Synaptics
touch pad, but it havent been updated for some time:
http://compass.com/synaptics/

you might want to take a look.
