OK, using 2.4.23 keventd is not using much CPU time, but when I finally upgraded to 2.4.25-pre8, I noticed that keventd is taking even more CPU time than X. I've tried the 2.6 series too, but I've noticed that there is a event/0 (IIRC) process peaking every second or two, much like keventd in 2.4.25-pre8. Dunno if this is the same issue or not. I've tried with and without preemptible kernel. I'm using vanilla kernels from kernel.org on HP Omnibook 4150, PIII 500, with BX chipset. Configuration should be the same in 2.4 series kernels. Flexy
