Hi everyone

My log are filled with info like:

output of dmesg:

[ 2836.722627] evbug.c: Event. Dev: input5, Type: 4, Code: 4, Value: 156
[ 2836.722638] evbug.c: Event. Dev: input5, Type: 1, Code: 96, Value: 0
[ 2836.722645] evbug.c: Event. Dev: input5, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0

It's updating all the time: here's the tail of dmesg 2 seconds after the first one:

jeremy@sj51-ubuntu:~$ echo "1:" && dmesg | tail -n 5 && sleep 2 && echo "2:" && dmesg | tail -n 5

[ 2958.859461] evbug.c: Event. Dev: input5, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0

It seems to come for the input management but I can't find where the problem is. Any ideas?

I'm under jaunty gnome minimal (gnome-core + a few extras)

Thanks,

OK,

I'll answer to myself in case someone has the same issue.
I just blacklisted the evbug module.

jeremy@sj51-ubuntu:~$ tail -n2 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
#evbug
blacklist evbug
