Did you check if user activity detection worked with BOINC 5.10.27-1 and the 
kernel you had installed before? I'm not sure that this has anything to do 
with this newer kernel version.

I can reproduce this with BOINC 5.10.27-1 (which is the current version in 
unstable) but not with BOINC 5.10.8-2 (which is the current version in 
testing) without changing the kernel, therefore this bug must have been 
introduced somewhere between 5.10.8 and 5.10.27 and I guess this changeset is 
the culprit: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/13948

I'll now try to debug and to fix this.

Grüße,
Frank
