Hein,

No such problems on a compaq presario 1600 laptop running 5.2 beta.
4.8 an 5.1 where both fine as well.
What controller chip is used in a 1230?
snip from dmesg of 1600:

[..]
atkbddc0: <keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x64,0x60 irq 1 on acpi0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1on atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3
[..]

ACPI enabled as you see.


Dylan.
