I (and many others) have a problem.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" (alpha).
xorg  1:7.3+10ubuntu6
Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Mon Mar 10 15:32:00 UTC 2008
i686 GNU/Linux

MSI P35 Neo motherboard with a HP USB keyboard.

Sometimes the keys get "stuck" and it keeps on repeating the button
all the time.
It often happen when I play games, that it repeats one of the arrow keys.

Now this is a problem that lots of people have experienced.
I've experienced it with other kernels too.

It is a very annoying bug, that happens to many users.
Restarting Xorg solves the problem.

Someone said this was a problem with dynticks, but I don't know.

Does anyone know what is causing this problem, and how to fix it?
