Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-386
Ubuntu Lite 6.06 LTS Keyboard is randomly erratic with linux-image-2.6.15-26 loaded. With 2.6.15-23 it is always stable. The symptom is a random logical key sticking causing multiple characters to be generated for a single keypress. It affects all X.org apps but never the terminals (tty1-6). It doesn't always occur, but when it occurs, it is constant untill reboot. If it doesn't start by login (wdm), it never occurs during the entire session. There are no messages in the log that indicate any problem and a comparison between those of good and bad sessions yields no clues. I'm not sure if it is related to bug 39315 (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/39315). I had similar problems with Xubuntu 6.06 LTS. Here is some info from a bad session (nothing distinctive compared to a good session): uname -a Linux ubuntult 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006 i586 GNU/Linux lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 530 Host (rev 02) 0000:00:00.1 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev d0) 0000:00:01.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS85C503/5513 (LPC Bridge) (rev b1) 0000:00:01.1 ff00: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] ACPI 0000:00:01.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 11) 0000:00:02.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) 0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Macronix, Inc.
