Bug Description

I have just upgraded to maverick that uses kernel 2.6.35-19-generic.
It is unstable. The mouse stops moving, typed keys fail to appear for a number of seconds.
Previously on Lucid, I was using kernel 2.6.32-24-generic. That kernel has no problems.

Now, on maverick, booting with kernel 2.6.32-24-generic has no problems.
Now on maverick, booting with kernel 2.6.35-19-generic has the problems.

So, I think this is a kernel regression.

More dmesg output. The problem occurs close to the psmouse.c line.
I do not this the mouse is the cause, I think it is a symptom, because it affects the keyboard as well at the same time.

I have tried the latest kernel
2.6.35-22-generic

I have also noticed an interesting fault.
If I run "top -d1", the list of processes is supposed to be updated periodically about once a second.
This is not happening. Some times is it taking 3 or 4 seconds to update.

Also, when the mouse freezes in position, pressing a key gets it moving again.

So, it looks to me that keyboard input seems to release it from its halted state.

I have exactly the same symptoms: I type something, nothing appears, I move the mouse and the text is there. Also the system monitor stops updating, I move the mouse or press a key it updates again. This every second or so.

Using 2.6.32 fixes this for me. Also suspend and hybernate only work with the older kernel.

I thought it has something to do with Broadcom's wl driver. Using the b43 open source driver seemed to help. But I am not totally sure about this.
