[Bug 213669] Re: [Hardy] Caps Lock causes keys to repeat
Cruncher: that might explain some issues that someone else is seeing, but I'm confident that it's not causing what I'm seeing. In comment #3, I summarize some of my own troubleshooting. od -x on /dev/input/event1 sees the problem as well, and od uses blocking I/O, not SIGIO. Whatever is broken is inside the kernel input code -- it isn't an xorg problem. Hmm, actually, that means that this bug is miscategorized -- I should recategorize. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) => linux-ports- meta (Ubuntu) -- [Hardy] Caps Lock causes keys to repeat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

http://ajaxxx.livejournal.com/62378.html presents a possible explanation that seems quite relevant, and sounds as if it could be the true source of many of the known keyboard glitches.

[Bug 213669] Re: [Hardy] Caps Lock causes keys to repeat
My experience (with CAPS-LOCK as an additional CTRL key) is that the CTRL key stays down. xkbwatch confirms this. A vt control switch (CTRL+ALT + F4) and then back to X (ALT+F7) solves my problem. But, it's very annoying. I too, experience this in Xemacs mostly, where I hold the "CTRL" (labelled CAPSLOCK) down for long periods of time. -- [Hardy] Caps Lock causes keys to repeat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 124406 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 Looks like Bug 213669 has been closed -- too many unrelated problems being reported there, which I think is probably a good call. I'm going to extract the relevant posts there and stick them here. Quick summary of what I've been able to find: The problem is still present in Ubuntu Jaunty. Both Harvey and I are using Dell Inspiron 1420 laptops, and both of us have swapcaps enabled. On both systems, the kernel knows that a key (I usually see "S", as I hit caps-lock-s to get C-x C-s frequently in emacs) is down, and does not generate repeat events for it, but the "key up" event does not appear in evdev, so this can be narrowed to a kernel problem somewhere above the hardware driver level. On my system, the situation is only cleared up when another key is hit -- it does not clear up after a certain amount of time. I see no keydowns being lost. Because console applications appear to rely on kernel-generated auto-repeats rather than evdev key-ups, they "don't see" this problem -- the kernel does *not* generate auto-repeat events with this bug. Instead, xorg is never told that the key is up and thus generates auto-repeat events. Extracted posts: === https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406/comments/125 Harvey Muller wrote on 2008-04-16: (permalink) Cruncher and wilderjds, Cruncher: The bug (#213669) I experience is not as described here, the repeating does not stop by itself. It is also not similar to #194214, in that I cannot reproduce those problems. When I experience the bug, simply hitting any other key after the repeats begins, stops the repeats. I am running 2.6.24-16-generic and still experience the repeat bug. I do not believe my specific bug is this one, but Timo Aaltonen has deemed it a duplicate. wilderjds: I only get stuck repeat keys when using the Caps Lock key, holding it down then pressing another key. The second key pressed will stick frequently but not all the time. The bug isn't triggered by cpufreq changes in my case. It happily causes repeats when both processors are stable at the low freq. And I am able to reproduce the stuck repeats in a minimal X environment (i.e. no compiz, window manager, etc.) === https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406/comments/127 Mark Schreiber wrote on 2008-04-16: (permalink) Not certain whether this is the same problem. It sounds awfully similar, except for the fact that I haven't seen my behavior "clear up" in a few seconds, as some have mentioned. With Gutsy on an Inspiron 1420 laptop, I sporadically see keys "stick" when using the built-in keyboard (I haven't tried external keyboards). Hitting another key clears up the situation immediately (which makes sense -- the internal keyboard is USB, and USB interface keyboards send the whole keyboard state on any keypress). Happens most frequently with "s" at at the end of a line in emacs, presumably since I pause in typing and allow enough time for the key repeat to kick in. I have not tried working on the Linux console to see whether it is affected as well -- it does happen in xorg. I type heavily, since I'm coding much of the day, and get this probably at least five or six times a day. One interesting bit of information that I can add is that I ran "sudo od -x /dev/input/event1" (to dump out all events coming in from the keyboard -- your keyboard device may be different). I left this running, and managed to capture a log of a stuck "s" key occurring happening. Normally, when holding a key down, I get many of the following events generated: 0432620 6bd6 4806 a3c4 000e 0004 0004 001f 0432640 6bd6 4806 a3cc 000e 0001 001f 0002 0432660 6bd6 4806 a3cf 000e Where "001f 0002" seems to indicate that the key is being held down -- these events are generated in rapid succession when the key is down. When the key is released, I get "001f ", and when initially pressed, I get "001f 0001". In this case, even though the "s" key was stuck down and repeating, I had *no* "001f 0002" events in the output from the event device -- just a "001f 0001" and "001f " event. I haven't yet determined whether the "001f " event came in only after a subsequent keystroke or whether it was immediately generated. I'll try to catch this and provide a follow-up. No unusual dmesg output. They internal keyboard in question has (from "sudo lsusb -v" output) an idVendor of 0x0a5c (Broadcom Corp.) and an idProduct of 0x4502. === https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406/comments/128 Mark Schreiber wrote on 2008-04-17: (permalink) Managed to reproduce without tapping any keys. Switched using mouse to xterm, and snatched this snippit from the terminal. Indeed, no keyup event is showing up until after I hit the next key sequence (a ^C) to terminate the stream of "s"es : 3742240 affb 4806 0b19 0003 0004 0004 001f 3742260 affb 4806 0b22

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 124406 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 Greetings Timo, After reading through the lengthy bug you have marked this a duplicate of (124406), I have a question. Although there is a chance they may be related, the symptoms experienced in Bug 213669 are not reported in the bug you have tied this to. I am not experiencing any of the other issues and cannot reproduce them, only the Caps Lock key causes repeats, which can be halted by hitting the Caps Lock key. I understand however that linking 213669 to 124406 may be a method to tie all like issues together for resolution. Is this the case? If so, I'll start watching bug 124406, if not I respectfully request that bug 213669 be unlinked from 124406.
