Heh. I saw the subject line and thought "I wonder if this is a Dell laptop". > In particular, when I type about 1 in 10 key presses simply do not > register.

In my case, it was slow, but I didn't lose any keystrokes. What happens when you ping another system? I found that the ping time was normal (in the order of 1 µs), but it repeated only every 3 seconds. When I unloaded ACPI, things worked normally. I'm following this up to the ACPI list with a reminder that my message has been there for 2 weeks. How do I localize the problem? Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers
