This happens to me, too. I'm running a nightly (hrev57499), and I'm booting from EFI on a ThinkPad T490. This happens a lot, so I tend to avoid enabling power saving mode. Plugging in an external USB mouse and keyboard works for me, too (which is no help for when I'm at the cafe because I can't lug those things around with me).

Seems this also happens here on my ThinkPad E550. I wonder what the cause could be? The system is still running normally (and playing audio). Perhaps something with the idling mode interferes with PS/2 interrupts somehow?

Can someone retest with the "intel_cstates" (or "x86_cstates" as it's now called) module blocklisted and see if this changes anything?

I've tried but nothing changes, at all.

What about blocklisting the "pstates" modules also?

sadly, nothing changes.

Seems this is broader than ThinkPad hardware.
