I can confirm that this bug can only be reproduced when the laptop have a BIOS password set! Thanks for finding this!
** Summary changed: - [hardy]computer and touchpad is buggy when running on battery + [hardy]computer and touchpad is buggy with BIOS password set ** Description changed: This bug happens with a freshly installed hardy beta 1 when the computer is running on battery or at the moment I plug/unplug the electric cable into my computer. If I let the computer unused for some minutes (2-5 minutes), when I come back and try to use the mouse, the mouse move of some centimeters, suddenly freeze for almost 5 seconds, and then come back to life. It can be reproduced since it continually happens each time I use my computer after reading a short text or spooke to somebody. If I plug or unplug the electric cable, the mouse freeze again for a 7 seconds. If any sounds are playing during the time that the mouse freeze, the sound is also corrupted and freeze. This bug does not happen when the electric cable is plugged, and it happens with metacity as much as compiz. Each time that the mouse suddenly freeze, I get this in dmesg : [ 804.829840] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 4 bytes away. [ 807.405427] psmouse.c: resync failed, issuing reconnect request [ 810.926845] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/virtual/input/input9 [ 810.973805] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input10 - This might maybe be linked with bug 190414, tsc clocksource does not - work on my laptop with Hardy kernel so linux switch to hpet instead - after ~35 seconds waiting at boot. - This bug is not a hardware failure because it is not reproducible under Linux Ubuntu Gutsy and Windows XP.
