Many thanks for the prompt handling of my report.

Unfortunately, I do not have an external keyboard to test with.

What I did, however, was to boot with the kernel of the previous Debian 
11 Bullseye installation. In other words, instead of relying upon kernel

6.1.0-21-amd64

I used

5.10.0-29-amd64

Everything works perfectly. After several hours, I have yet to 
experience any trouble with keyboard, mouse, or trackpad. With kernel 
6.1.0-21, device input starts going haywire after about about 5 minutes, 
at which point the system gets increasingly unstable, and becomes 
unusable after 20-30 minutes.

I really wonder what could cause such a trouble with the newer kernel.

Is there a way to shift the report to the kernel category?

Many thanks

Eduardo Casais
