2.6.30 USB Wireless Keyboard erratic.

Hi. I have an MS Wireless Laser Keyboard 5000 (Okay, so they don't make good OS but the hardware division's not bad). Has a little gadget that plugs into a USB port.

With the upgrade to 2.6.30 it works very erratically - missing 1 key in 3 or 4 - and eventually stops altogether.  (Currently I'm in 2.6.29 and it works perfectly again)

I've seen posts about changing HAL or xorg.conf fixing this but can't find any suggestions as to what to actually change.

All help gratefully appreciated.

Re: 2.6.30 USB Wireless Keyboard erratic.

Hi, I have same problem with usb mouse (logitech) and new kernel 2.6.30.

My workaround (at every startup):

for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level; do echo on > $i; done

I hope this work for you. :-)
