another reaction below in this thread reported kbd problems in vanilla 2.6.22.1 as well. What is the X versions, etc.? Does the problem go away if the X kbd driver selection is tweaked to a simpler model, say:

Or perhaps just test with CFS reverted? It really sounds more like something
independent from the scheduler. Perhaps someone could put a CFS-revert-for-testing patch
on ftp somewhere. It's only a few git changesets so shouldn't be too difficult to
do.

Teresa was already using 2.6.22.1, with CFS (v19.1) patched in, so reverting that would be a matter of patching it out again. She said she wasn't seeing trouble on other kernels though.

I was the one who also saw keyboard trouble on 2.6.22.1 without CFS by the way -- and haven't (yet) seen any anymore since patching _in_ CFS v19.1...
