Hi Andrew,
Keyboard internal, but... you are right -- this _only_ happens when the laptop is plugged into the docking station... that could be an extra clue (i.e. two PS/2 controllers simultaneously -- maybe the docking station one needs to be somehow explicitly disabled).
How come I can't tell? Because when I type on the console it seems to be ok, i.e. it is probably _not_ a keyboard driver. On the other hand, on the laptop I don't type that much on the console and spend all the time in X in xterm. That is why I am not certain what exactly is broken.
I do not have ACPI enabled, nor APM in the kernel.
Regards, Tigran
