sorry if this is not the correct address for feature requests, but I don't know where to send this mail to.
I've installed a debian system (knoppix 3.2) with kernel 2.4.20 on my toshiba laptop (satellite pro 2100). Under KDE in any application I've got a offen occuring repeating error. If I hit a key the letter somethimes appears up to 3 times (with only one hit). This problem is know by some developers... (http://www.met.ed.ac.uk/~hcp/t9000.html -> "Dealing with the bouncy keys" ) (I found further instructions who tell me to edit the keyboard.c and recompile the kernel) But I'm no system adminstrator and have not the knowlege to recompile a whole kernel.
So I want you to ask, if a further release (>2.4.20) has implemented this bugfix so that I'm able to reinstall the whole release (that's quite easier for me).
The correct mailing list is <debian-user@lists.debian.org>.
The 2.6 kernel (still in development) is much better, although not perfect, about suppressing these spurious keys. If you aren't technical, perhaps the best solution is to wait for a version of Knoppix that has the new kernel.
