It was running Linux prior to this, and tried a couple other OS's, but none had ACPI support. After configuring and loading X11, I noticed a somewhat severe lag/characters dropping when I typed, routinely. A friend on irc, Jeff, was kind enough to take about an hour and, after having me enable KTR on my kernel and reboot, finally asked me to turn off my battery monitor applet. Viola! This fixed all traces of lag/chars dropping. It also happened in console, but mainly only lag, I didn't notice characters dropping as much. http://www.hadm.net/~keith/ktr.out has the KTR output Jeff used. >How-To-Repeat: Stock install, Stock Kernel on a Dell Latitude d600. 1.6ghz Pentium-M, 1gig ram. Installed Gnome 2.10, and used the applet it came with. Problem appeared. >Fix: Kill the Gnome Battery Monitoring Applet, thanks to Jeff Robinson for all his hard work debugging this. Please email me if you need any more information or have a fix i could test out. :D >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: gavin State-Changed-When: Tue Feb 19 17:02:13 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: To submitter: Firstly, I'm sorry that this PR has sat for so long without anyone looking at it.
