Package: klaptopdaemon
Version: 2.2.2-5
Severity: Important
KDE's laptop daemon currently ignores events coming from USB devices
which makes it unusable on systems using USB input devices only; the
obvious result is that the daemon will initiate a suspend event
although the user uses the mouse or types on the keyboard.
The bug is more a design flaw as the daemon currently checks for input
activity by parsing /proc/interrupts, searching for the keywords
"[K|k]eyboard" and "[M|m]ouse" and checking whether or not an
interrupt on their irq lines has occurred since the last poll. USB
devices do not show up as such in /proc/interrupts but as "usb-ohci"
(or whatever driver you use) and possibly share interrupts with other
devices (such as sound in my case). Bad method. There must be a way of
linking itself into X's input event handlers and do the checking there.
This said, I still consider it by all means important rather than a
wishlist item. Many people use their laptop computers at home in
combination with external - USB, that is - input devices (who likes to
fuzz with a small mousepad or dislocated keys on a literally weak
keyboard?).
