I have this problem as well, it started yesterday. Running squeeze with all available updates. It broke my keyboard autorepeat in X, but worked fine in virtual consoles. Noticed continuous ^...@^@^...@^@ in VCs after killing X, it even prevented me from logging in on a second VC for awhile, but that seemed to resolve itself somehow. xev showed keycode 232 and 233 being continuously pressed and released, which on my laptop is Fn+Up and Fn+Down, mapped to xf86brightnessup and xf86brightnessdown. Rebooted and the problem appeared to be gone until I tried to adjust brightness by using Fn+Down, which caused the unending key press events to start again. xset has no effect. I'll boot a LiveCD shortly to see if the problem occurs there. I have my caps lock key mapped to escape, so I will try remapping back to caps lock to test if this has any effect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
