Comment 90 for bug 271706

After upgrading to karmic with 2.6.32-10-generic kernel and adding 174,176 to /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/force_release the bug is finally gone. :-D

Bolting it to /etc/rc.local and I'm done. :-) (This is a workaround, not a _proper_ solution, but it works for now.)
