Hmm, I have been seeing repeated keys a lot under X on my athlon 700, but mainly when I have firefox running (which is of course quite a load on the poor old thing). This has been going on for probably the last year or so. I thought it was just the machine getting weird, although whenever it wasn't running firefox or other memory/cpu heavy loads it seemed fine. The USB bus also keeps detecting and loosing a USB hub again and again, so perhaps that is also a software problem and not actually the hardware failing. For example I continuously get this: usb-storage: device found at 84 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb-storage: device scan complete usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 82 usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, address 83 usb 1-1.1.1: USB disconnect, address 84 usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 44 usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 45 usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 2-2:1.0: USB hub found usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 85 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 86 usb 1-1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-1.1:1.0: USB hub found usb 1-1.1.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 87 usb 1-1.1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi20 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 87 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb-storage: device scan complete usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 85 usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, address 86 usb 1-1.1.1: USB disconnect, address 87 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 88 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 89 usb 1-1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-1.1:1.0: USB hub found usb 1-1.1.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 90 usb 1-1.1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi21 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 90 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb-storage: device scan complete usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 88 usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, address 89 usb 1-1.1.1: USB disconnect, address 90 usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 45 usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 46 usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 2-2:1.0: USB hub found I have never checked if it stops doing that when firefox and such isn't running and the keyboard isn't repeating characters. I wonder if my keyboard problems started around 2.6.18 or earlier than that or later. I should try booting an older kernel again if I can make it and see if it changes. -- Len Sorensen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
