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

[Chris]

I just fixed a "stick and auto-repeating" keys problem on my Dell Core2
Duo laptop by adding some boot parameters that disable some kernel
features:

highres=off nohz=off noapm

I had originally added these same parameters on two other laptops (Acer
Aspire and HP Pavillion, both built around AMD64 CPUs with ATI shared-
memory video) to cure their random hard freezes.

It seems likely that either the high-res timer or the tickless feature
in the latest kernels is very bad medicine, on certain hardware at
least.
