Keyboard lag in kernel 2.6.824.13

Hi,

Since upgrading to kernel 2.6.8-24.13 I'm experiencing very strange keyboard behavior: lags and randomly repeated keys. The setup is: - Toshiba laptop Satellite 2450-101 - 512Mb ram, 80Gb 4200 RPM disk - SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.3 (though I don't think that's related), OpenOffice (also not related), and so on. - Kernel 2.6.8-24.13, updated via Yast, the SuSE updater

The behavior is seen in X (xterm, openoffice etc.) but ALSO in normal virtual consoles, without X. The behavior disappears when I connect remotely to my system using ssh.

I've got the feeling that this is all kernel-related and has to do with scheduling. I tried fumbling around with ACPI settings, to no avail. dmesg reports spuriously (say each 10 secs):

drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received atkbd.c: Keyboard on isa0060-serio0 reports too many keys pressed. drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received drivers-usb-input-hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received

BTW: All was working OK with my previous kernel 2.4.

Any ideas? All help appreciated! If you can, please reply by e-mail. I'll collect results & post an answer.
