Bug#1071236: general: keyboard, mouse, and trackpad behave inconsistently; seemingly phantom input device events occur unpredictably



Many thanks for the prompt handling of my report.

Unfortunately, I do not have an external keyboard to test with.

What I did, however, was to boot with the kernel of the previous Debian 11 Bullseye installation. In other words, instead of relying upon kernel

6.1.0-21-amd64

I used

5.10.0-29-amd64

Everything works perfectly. After several hours, I have yet to experience any trouble with keyboard, mouse, or trackpad. With kernel 6.1.0-21, device input starts going haywire after about about 5 minutes, at which point the system gets increasingly unstable, and becomes unusable after 20-30 minutes.

I really wonder what could cause such a trouble with the newer kernel.

Is there a way to shift the report to the kernel category?

Many thanks

Eduardo Casais

Hello,

you filed a general bug against debian. At most it should be directed towards the kernel or libinput or evdev.

Anyway, it seems to me like a hardware problem.

I have a thinkpad in which putting a new keyboard solved a lot of problems with the input.

So I am closing the bug.

If you can test with a new keyboard (making sure the current is disconnected) and the problem persists, you should open a bug against the actual component that is creating the issue. Since you said you tried both wayland and xorg, that would be the kernel or libinput.

Best of luck!
