Hi,

I recently buy a Dell XPS M1530 and install on it Kubuntu 8.04.

Sometimes, the keyboard fail, keeping it freezen or writing the same letter 1 or 2 seconds, and the touchpad directly not work, i cant use it.

dmesg:

Adding i8042.panicblink=0 to the boot options has helped minimise this issue for me in the last 2 days (from http://kerneltrap.org/node/5898)

I am unable to comment on what other issues this may cause.

/boot/grub/menu.lst

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-no_panicblink

EDIT: Hmm, scratch that. I think the perceived effects were purely psychological.
