If the keyboard has been idle for a while, it's dropping the first keystroke when you start to type. And booting with "usbcore.autosuspend=-1" makes the keyboard not accept any input at all. Reverting commit 3d61510f4ecacfe47c75c0eb51c0659dfa77fb1b ("HID: usbhid: enable remote wakeup for keyboards"), added in 2.6.34.2, fixes the problem. 2.6.36-rc2 does not have this bug, but I can't figure out what changed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
