We are observing a strange effect here under X11 with a 2.4.21-47.EL kernel. The keyboard repeats single keystrokes in a very unpleasant manner. I first thought that it was an issue that can be passed by by setting xset -r and then xset -r rate 400 30 but after short it turned out that the problem did not go away with that. Motherboard is an ASUS A8N-E. processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 43 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2010.338 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 4010.80 Anyone having an idea what to do? I also tried a redhat-config-keyboard to no avail. Other colleages were reporting the same problem. Also a BIOS issue could reportedly be the cause. (Typematic feature comes to mind - don't know at the moment whether this MB has this feature in its BIOS. Will try that probably next). -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kukulies (at) rwth-aachen.de
