Public bug reported:
I have a Terratec Cinergy 600 tv card with a Philips FM1216 tuner (and a
Philips SAA7115 video decoder).
Somehow the card causes keypressed to be sent to the system. It happens
irregularly, the problem can go away for weeks and then suddenly occur several
times per hour.
My computer detects a key press although I don't type anything. I've tried
several keyboards and it doesn't even stop when I unplug the keyboard (all
PS/2, I don't have a USB keyboard). I also removed about everything else from
my computer. It only stops when I remove my tv card, so I'm quite sure it is
the cause.
The key is always '0' on the numpad (KP_0) or insert (KP_Insert) if I turn off
numlock. It behaves like a normal keypress in any way (if I press shift while
numlock is disabled, I get zeroes, too. If I hold down any other key, it will
disrupt the key repeating). The frequency of the key presses varies between one
per minute and three per second.
I can't work when this happens, so I removed the card for now.
