[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat and dropped key presses

[Chrysogonus]

Well, in Edgy (AMD64), there is only linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic, so I
can't simply install an non  SMP kernel.

Obviously, the  kernel (2.6.17 and vanilla 2.6.18) causes  some programs
to behave strange: like the x-server, kde (the slow icon
animation/opening problem, Bug #64325), firefox (tab  switching takes
several seconds). Using 2.6.15-23-amd64-generic #1 SMP solves the
probles with KDE and firefox (programs in general just start up
faster!!!), but even with this  kernel I have this bug with randomly
repeated keys.

Writing this comment is pain already, cause it's nearly impossible to
write a word without repeated characters.

The status of this bug report is "Fix Released" - what does  it  mean? I
don't see that this bug is fixed yet.
