Hi.

On a powerbook with lenny (up to date debian kernel 2.6.26-1-powerpc)
the touchpad wakes up the kernel very often (powertop says that). This
is supposed to be solved since oct. 2007 as per
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=com...diff;h=

Does anyone else see that?

Thanks,

Regards

Stephane

no, i've got the problem with a triggerhappy touchpad whenever my
pb5,7 is awake. like when writing a text suddenly i'm finding my
cursor some whole other place, even when ignore accidental input is
turned on. But when sleeping it works like a charm.

May I ask you how many wakeups per second your touchad causes? Mine
causes 200 which seems a lot and the source
(/drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.c) mentions "avoid waking the kernel
up several hundred times a second."

Thanks

Stephane
