You don't specify the make/model of the notebook, but I had a similar problem with one of my IBM Thinkpads (a 240) that was resolved by upgrading the BIOS. The problem showed up under 2.4 kernels - haven't tested a 2.6 yet. The laptop/mouse would freeze for a split second when polling the battery. A BIOS update from IBM's web site fixed it. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
