I had a similar problem with the Gentoo 2.4.20 Linux kernels on a dual Athlon MP. It was a kernel timekeeping problem. The kernel functions that returned the time would report times that jumped around. I believe that when the time jumped forward a second or two, X decided that it should have been doing keyboard repeat during the mysterious missing seconds. If I remember correctly, it was a TSC related problem.

Re: Repeating Keystrokes in X
This is a kernel problem. /dev/console is returning duplicate key releases and XFree86 doesn't filter it out and sends duplicate key release events to the clients. I'm told it's fixed in some newer kernels. It seems to be specific to the Toshiba notebooks. Mark.
