Sounds familiar.

I'm seeing it too on a 500MHz White iBook.
However, I have assured myself that this is not kernel related.
I have both 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 (which I've been using for weeks)
on my machine and they both have the same problem. However, the
problem only started after an "apt-get upgrade" a couple of days
ago. One of the things that changed in the "apt-get upgrade" was
pbuttonsd.
Anyone know where I might be able to find an older version of
pbuttonsd? I looked in /var/cache/apt/archives/ but some geius ran
apt-get autoclean!
