[Bug 399650] Re: keyboard/trackpad hang on boot

[rcbpage]

 Regards Jim,

My problem with that is, is that it's putting a band-aid on the problem,
not fixing the source of it.
And my boxen is not a laptop, it's a higher end desktop.
It has been a complaint for sometime now, that the various flavors of
Ubuntu, all seem to assume
everyone is running it on a laptop and loads up a raft of drivers that
are never used by a desktop
system or server.
Speaking for myself one of the first things I unload after an install
are the wireless, disk and battery management
garbage, and Network Manager, and disable the Bluetooth stuff.
