Keybounce problem

2:55pm, Wednesday 11 January 2006

Since upgrading my work desktop machine to the X.org X server and Linux kernel 2.6.15 I've experienced an annoying keybounce problem in X. Sometimes keys would be repeated for no obvious reason: umount would come out as umoount, grep would come out as grrep ("grr", indeed) and so on. I couldn't find any mentions of the problem, so lacking the time to thoroughly debug it, I kludged it with the XKB extension: xkbset bo 50
