Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd Version: 1:1.1.0-4 On a Thinkpad X40 keyboard - tried with both a standard american English keyboard and german Deutsch one - there is something extremely bizarre going on that seem to involve Caps Lock and Ctrl keys. Intermittently the Caps lock seems to get activated even though the Caps Lock LCD indicator light is off. Normally to fix it, shift + a character must be pressed, after which releasing the Shift key will return keys to lowercase.
More troubling is that from time to time somehow the Ctrl key seems to get stuck on. This can be extremely dangerous as subsequent keypresses are now Ctrl-key combinations and have the potential to kill processes, shut down terminals, etc. I still do not know how Ctrl key gets untoggled in this state, but it is not by pressing the Ctrl key. When this problem initially occurred I thought perhaps there was some severe problem with the keyboard. But changing the keyboard made no difference. I also completely re-installed Debian but the problem persisted. The problem does not, however, occur under non-Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
