Title:
External USB keyboard and mouse lag (laptop keyboard & touchpad
normal) when booting laptop with HDMI cable connected to external
monitor.
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I switched from a VGA cable to an HDMI cable for my external monitor.
If I boot with the HDMI cable plugged-in and connected to the monitor,
I get the USB lag issue below. However, if I plug-in the HDMI cable
after bootup I don't see this problem. Booting with VGA plugged in is
fine as well. Also, booting with the HDMI cable connected to the
laptop, but disconnected from the monitor does not cause the problem.
Monitor Info:
Brand: KDS
Product No: K-2626MDHWB
Model No: 2600W
The monitor has 3.5mm audio jack. I'm guessing it's for input. If I output sound to HDMI the speakers in the monitor play.
The HDMI cable is "High Speed with Ethernet". Monster cable, 140054-00
Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
Linux: 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu
This is the problem I see when I boot with the HDMI cable connected to
the monitor:
The USB mouse stutters/lags as I move it and the USB keyboard misses
characters as a type and registers keys slowly. Both seem to have the
same latency, I would estimate it around 250ms. So, moving the mouse
steadily, I only see it's position update every 250ms or so. Typing
quickly on the keyboard results in lost characters.
If I rapidly press a key on the USB keyboard, the keys register slower than on the laptop keyboard.
For example, rapidly repeating a key on the USB keyboard for 10 seconds, I get about 40 characters on the USB keyboard, but the same test with the laptop keyboard results in around 70.
There are some similar bugs regarding the lightdm themes, but my issue seems different. See 945749 and its duplicates:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/945749
My problem occurs in the greeter and the normal gnome desktop. I've
tried Gnome Shell, Unity, Enlightenment 17; all have the issue.
I tried changing themes (recommended by the lightdm bug discussion), no effect.
I also tried disabling polling:
echo N > /sys//module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll
Unplugging 2nd monitor.
Replugging both USB devices.
When I plug in the USB keyboard, dmesg reports:
[ 1667.803020] usb 1-1.1: new low-speed USB device number 10 using ehci_hcd

Also, when I boot without the HDMI cable, then plug it in, the dmesg
log shows:
