    Since kernel 2.6.21 or so I was annoyed by a warping mouse, and
    one kernel version later also by "stuck" keys, causing repeated input
    at the most inconvenient moments (e.g. when opening a program by
    pressing F1).

    As it happened irregularly and unpredictable it was hard to debug,
    and I suspected faulty hardware. My cpu was quite hot, but after
    removing all the dust it seems all right again. Unfortunately that
    was about the same time I upgraded to 2.6.23-rc1, so all I can say
    is that the stuck key problem seems to be gone, though not sure
    thanks to what, but that neither the cleaning nor the upgrade fixed
    the warping mouse problem.

    I'm running with these locking patches for two days now and the
    mouse doesn't warp any more (it can also have fixed the stuck key
    problem, not sure). Normally it would warp several times a day,
    and that didn't happen yet, so I'm tempted to praise your patches.

    Sorry for the babbling, just wanted to say that I've tested these
    patches and that they seem to fix real problems.

    Thanks,

    Indan
