Well, that didn't work.
Pity...
Could you produce a debug log from EC?
Probably it's a good time to open a new bug report...

"Asus Eee PC hotkeys stop working after prolonged usage"
I stuck at it, found a reliable test and bisected successfully.
2.6.28-rc2 is broken, but I can fix it by reverting the bad commit.
(There were some conflicts, I fixed up the dock driver manually and
avoided building the rest).
Alan, to make things clear -- reverting following commit makes EC work
without
a problem?
Yes, that's right.
Great!
What kernel version is that -- 32 or 64?
32 bit, my EeePC doesn't do 64.
is the attached patch enough to fix ?
