Bug#385095: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7: Flaky mouse and sluggish interactive response
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7
Version: 2.6.17-7
Severity: important
On a system that works with 2.6.16-2-k7_2.6.16-18 upgrading to
2.6.17-2-k7_2.6.17-7 results in a system for which the mouse (a
Logitech TrackMan) is flaky (jumps around on the screen) and which
feels sluggish (perhaps just poor task switching) and for which typing
occurs in fits and starts. It may matter than boinc-client is
installed on this system (or may not) and has a cpu heavy task running
in the background (but again 2.6.16-2-k7 has no problem).
