[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat

[Paul Sladen]

Regarding the mention of 'plptools', the 'ncpd' deamon (designed to
connect to Psion organisers and Nokia Communicator phones) and which is
automatically started by installing 'plptools' was causing this.

After messing around smashing the keyboard to pieces in enough
frustration, the following was a good enough workaround:

  $ diff -U0 /etc/plptools.conf*
  --- /etc/plptools.conf  2006-08-10 17:02:38.000000000 +0100
  +++ /etc/plptools.conf~ 2006-08-08 18:04:47.000000000 +0100

  -START_NCPD=no
  +START_NCPD=yes

BenC: what was your fix, and does this still need to be looked at in
'plptools' itself?
