I'm going to vote for gpm being an issue too. I've given up on this getting fixed properly soon, and went back to 8.04. I don't have any issues with input and the OSD for the screen brightness works fine. Just to be clear, DOWNGRADING the distribution works, but not downgrading the kernel, which I tried earlier. To be sure, the cause is some quirky hardware, but it seems more logical for gpm to be able to handle the unexpected behavior more gracefully, rather than patching the kernel for random bits of hardware, that may or may not need a work around.
