would it be better to mark this bug as a duplicate of mine? :)

"For sound, X drivers, and kernel bugs: please open a new bug instead of commenting on a similar bug: chances are that your hardware does not match the existing bug's hardware, so the bug will not be addressed. As well, unless asked of you by a developer or experienced triager, please do not mark your bug a duplicate of another reporter's bug."

Well, the chances are that's the same thing.

This bug was originally reported for the same laptop model, "Acer Timeline 3810t (and friends)" [see the original bug description].

BTW, do you think that there are any chances to get any more info about this bug?

It was reported 3 years ago for archived unsupported old Ubuntu version by a person with no recent activity;
it was sent to upstream bug tracker, where some patch (affecting the i8042 behavior regardless of the machine configuration) was conceived and merged into Linux v3.3-rc1.

-- The updated version of kernel have been proven to fix the problem by a number of affected users (including me).
-- Updated kernel is a part of Quantal now.
-- If someone experiences this problem in Quantal, he (or she) can always file a new bug report.
-- There are a lot of other Linux bugs around to fix them.
What's the reason to keep the status as "Incomplete"?
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
