[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

[Mark Schreiber]

Unfortunately, I don't use GNOME, and don't have any software packages
running that listen for a fn-F10, so I can't check ATM whether X
believes that the key is down.

Assuming that my guessing as to the meaning of the hex dump from
/dev/input/eventX is correct (2 is generated auto-repeat, 1 is down, 0
is up), that key generates events that are a little unusual too --
there's no key down or key up events generated -- just key repeat, one
per key press.  But I could also be misunderstanding them -- I should
really dig up something that can understand the input from
/dev/input/event devices to be sure.  Also on an Inspiron 1420.  This is
not the case for fn-print screen, which generates the normal 1 and 0
events, with repeat events if held down.

Doesn't have the same kernel-level behavior that causes the other repeat
problem, though it might be a bug in-and-of-itself if this is
inadvertent.
