PS/2 mouse freezes

[stoupa]

mouse and keyboard freezes when using kubuntu (10.04 32bit or 10.04.1 64 bit live from CD or fresh installed whichever of them) System is stil running, only keyboard and mouse doesn't work, both connected via PS/2. My only solution is reboot. It doesn't happen with USB mouse. There is nothing in log about it.

Fedora core 13 did same, Windows XP without any problem.

same mainboard, the same problem;

System is running and suddenly PS/2 keyboard freezes or presses the last key pressed all the time , e.g. aaaaaaa ....
It can occur once a month or several times in one week.

I guess, it depends on what you are doing; e.g. if I play a racing game on wine, where I have to press the cursor keys all the time, the keyboard timer(?) will overload and triggers this problem. Also writing a lot in Openoffice triggers this bug.

dmesg and messages show no errors.
But Xorg.0.log (unfortunately I didn't store the log) shows messages like;
reopen Device events and "XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm"-events.

Using a USB Keyboard solves the problem totally.
Or use a PS/2 to USB Converter like I do, helps also , but sometimes keyboard is reinitialising suddenly.
But this is only sometimes and in one second and there will be no freeze.

I think that the mainboard isn't yet fully supported, so we should give the next release a try.

Solution: blacklist Asus sensors module asus_atk0110:

Go to the directory /etc/modprobe.d and edit the file blacklist.conf
Add the line blacklist asus_atk0110 to the file and refresh initramfs image for all kernels =>
update-initramfs -uk all
