Comment 5 for bug 64325

Something within the kernel must have changed crucial, so that other applications show strange behaviour.

The only kernel which works best for me now (regarding this bug and bug# 39315) is the 2.6.15-kernel from dapper: 2.6.15-23-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:45:47 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've even compiled kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.19rc2-mm2 myself (optimised for Intel Core 2 Duo) - but the problems described in both bug reports aren't solved with any of them.

Additionally, I have disabled the boot splash screen (it causes a lot of problems regarding the keyboard issue) and I'm using the kernel option pci=assign-busses.

I can't estimate whether this is an kernel- or an application-based (X or KDE) bug. Neither do I know what has changed from the kernel side from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17, so that this all happens.
