It does disable GPE, but for very small duration. Ok. I was put off by the noise :-). I've just tested 2.6.27-rc6 with <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9998#c81>. It still "drops" some events, but now it takes longer to happen. I have to work much harder bashing the keys to reproduce it. Like before, missing an event has severe consequences. The missed event is buffered. When a new event occurs, only the oldest event is removed from the buffer. Therefore the buffer can only grow. Eventually, something breaks. Events stop being delivered altogether; presumably the buffer overflows. I confirmed that this does still happen. Remember that these are the consequences of a specific EC bug. On my EC, querying an event always clears SCI_EVT, even if there are more events pending. It is only re-raised when a new event fires. I'll try reading the patch. I may try capturing an EC debug log to show how the event is dropped, but that will take time.
