I found out how to fix this and get acpi fully working with all acpi drivers/modules... You have to put this into your kernel options "ec_intr=0" I found this in the ubuntu forums... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402926&highlight=acpi+thinkpad By the way, this bug also happens in Gu

I have installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04, without any changes. Didn't compile myself, etc... All default. Then using apt-get, installed xfce on top of it. To avoid repeat bug, turned off acpid, and turned on apmd in Xfce Menu--> System--> Services. Now repeat bug disappeared, but battery apple

I went ahead and followed this troubleshooting recommendation for completeness, but it didn't solve the problem. After playing around with it some more, I have figured out that it has to do with interaction with the acpi interface. Here is my reasoning 1. acpi=off in the kernel parameters se

Ok, then as I don't see this bug anymore, I won't be of much help because I can't test solutions anymore. A newer kernel seemed to have fixed it. But I can still suggest a few things. Rick (ozstriker78) and others, you could try disabling the ACPI monitoring like archie suggested in two steps

It's not fixed in Gutsy. I have the same issue still. I went ahead and upgraded to Gutsy thinking it would get fixed, but it didn't. -Rick -- [Feisty] Keyboard repeats keystrokes like h https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99356 You received this bug notification because you are

Happy to hear that, but I doubt your laptop does not support ACPI. The proof is you can't read your battery power level, and that's an ACPI feature. If you could ever do that then ACPI is supported, even if the BIOS does not mention it because it just won't allow you to disable it. Laptop BI

I found out, it is acpi. My laptop bios does not support acpi control. It is advance power control scheme/module. Dont know great details about it :-) Solution I found for myself is to turn out acpi daemon. Battery control doesnt work, but repeats dissappeared. I installed xubuntu, there is

I don't know of any official solution, sorry. But I'm running a 2.6.22 kernel recompiled from the gutsy sources with the restricted modules and I'm not experiencing the bug anymore, and previously I couldn't finish a sentence without seeing it twice or more. I suggest you dist-upgrade one of y

This was the best description that I've heard of in terms of my problem. This is exactly what I am experiencing and the noacpi option did not solve my problem. I even tried the notsc option, which prevented the laptop from booting. I'll try clocksource=acpi_pm and see what happens. -Rich On 5/1

You could try the "noacpi" boot option, just to see what happens. If it works better, file an acpi bug. Ian Johnston wrote: > I have just given up trying to install Feisty on my Thinkpad R403 (2684) > as a result of similar bugs. Symptoms were ... > > 1) Inordinately long delay at ACPI on boot (

Well it is intermittent, but sometimes you get no response at all from the keyboard. Also, the mouse os very choppy, and is also unresponsive at times. On 5/17/07, Charles Perreault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think the original bug report is about every key being repeated many > times, whil
