Mouse, KB and monitor pausing in w2100z suse 9.2 and 9.3
Hello All, Like clock work, every 5 seconds the w2100z systems pause for a fraction of a second then hurries to catch up to where it thinks it should be. The result is the mouse stops and jumps across the screen. The keyboard double types a letter(annoying when entering passwords). With glxgears, the gears seem to stop and go every 5 seconds. Any help would be appreciated. We have about 20 of these systems and many of them run suse 9.3. --ryan

This is exactly the same problem as reported with the Sun w1100z (which is the same machine but without the 2nd CPU daughter board). http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2005-Jul/0040.html AFAIK, the current workaround is acpi=off although it might be worth looking at SuSE 10 Beta 2 and, if the problem still persists, reporting the problem under bugzilla. It seems from the previous thread that the problem is unique to SuSE so perhaps a kernel patch has been missed ? -- John P.
