Comment 45 for bug 606238

In reply to Philip Aston's comment #41 I have a slightly tweaked KeyboardDetector.py script which catches two OSError exceptions (numbers 4 and 24) which cause the script to die quickly on my E6420. The fixes are linked here:

and related E6420 notes are here:

I have an E6420, Ubuntu 10.10, with NVIDIA NVS 4200M, SSD, 8GB RAM, built in camera, Broadcom 5800 based wifi.
