Comment 76 for bug 440411

I am hit by this problem since I have installed 9.10 on Asus UL80AG notebook. The reliably working solution was "sudo killall udevd". After reading the latest posts I have updated to 10.10 but I am afraid I cannot confirm that the bug is gone. Actually, the i915 is still flooding the system with interrupts (one can easy see that in "sudo powertop"). It is true that udevd does not register that signal and "udevadm monitor --env" does not flood the teminal with change event from card0.

The symptoms after upgrading to 10.10 is that the whole system is very very slow. Actually, moving a cursor using mouse/touchpad is a pain, it moves very jerky. Cairo-Dock virtually unusable, and the powertop is reporting flood of interrupts from i915.

Well, in 10.04 helped to kill udevd, but what now? What shall I do to get the performance back to usable level? Any help?
