Touchpad / keyboard behaving strangely on 2.6

Since moving to 2.6 (same in .0 and .1), the synaptics touchpad on my Dell I8100 will occasionally stop moving for a few seconds, sometimes for as much as 5 seconds, then just come back and start working again, while the rest of the system is fully responsive (can switch X workspaces, launch stuff with my keybindings, etc).

Additionally, the keyboard repeat rate seems to be malfunctioning. Almost everytime I use one of my key bindings in sawfish (Ctrl-Alt-T) to open a terminal window (wterm), I get a 1 or so second delay before the terminal actually opens, and I always get two or three open instead of just one, even with the repeat delay set very high and using a very swift press. The symptom only goes away when I turn the repeat off completely (xset r off) or I go back to my 2.4 kernel.

Anybody have any thoughts?
