strange mouse and keyboard behaviour

[Juraj Bednar <juraj@bednar.sk>]

Hello,

   I use KDE 3.0.4, Debian testing with old xfree86 (4.1.0) on IBM
   Thinkpad a22m notebook (I haven't upgraded to 4.2.0, because I have
   to find fast line to download it ;).

   Now, there's some strange behaviour with my mouse and keyboard.
   Sometimes the keyboard ,,decides'', that I hold the alt key (or I
   think so, I can't type any letters and if I click in the middle of
   a window and move, the window moves, that's what happens when alt is
   pressed). The only way to get out is to kill Xserver, I can't type
   anything, typing alt again doesn't help. 

   Another bug is, that sometimes my mouse pointer decides, that I can't
   select text in konsole. I have to doubleclick and then it works
   again.

   The reason why I'm writing to debian-laptop and not to a general
   mailing list is that I have the exactly same software setup on my
   workstation (I use apt-proxy and they have same versions of
   software), so I wonder if this is some kind of bad cooperation with
   this kind of hardware... What would you think would help?

   This is the output of discover for this notebook:
