1. The buggy behavior continues even in spite of a change to a new keyboard. So it isnt a keyboard hardware issue. 2. As to whether it is a true motherboard hardware issue vs X windows configuration and thus potentially solved by a switch to a pseudoterminal? I agree that working in the pseudoterminals may help sort this out, but I am in a bind here. (While writing this letter it just happened again!!! keyboard kept typing spaces..... many lines worth, till i hit any key and it stopped.) If you google you will see this is reported by many people, likely X related it is not a n unheard of problem, and different explanations are offfered. However I can't just shift to a pseudoterminal, because If I work in a pseudoterminal I can edit with emacs of course, but I can't read pdf files and surf the web etc and moreover with my modern ATI radeon type card, when I tried to use the the open source radeon driver it fails to to recognize my dual monitor setup, So I must use the propriatary ati/amd video drivers and then these ban the radeon module so I get no nice framebuffer so when i go to a pseudoterminal I get only a large ugly font (think Dos 3.1 days) with 20-25 lines per screen. :) So to satisfy your curiousity I opened emacs and typed some lines in tty2 , and and manical repetivive letters did not happen in the pseudoterminal. So I think it is an x configuration thing. There are all these settings like xset r sticky keys If I google linux annoying keys repetition I come with many others complaining of a similar / identical problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467040 xserver-xorg-input-kbd: Lag problem on my keyboard - keys repetition https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/599316 keyboard starts repeating the last pressed key Thus I am looking for an idea what to try to get rid of the problem, presuming it is an X configuration issue or perhaps as suggested a problem with "Sticky Keys" Thanks, Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
