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

Tue Jun 2 11:48:04 UTC 2009

I added a bug report of my own a while ago, I didn't think with some of
the explanations here that my issue was the exact same bug, but its hard
to tell with so many people reporting.

evdev/+bug/371066

Anyway if it is related, concerning USB this is what I found.

My laptop keyboard is on the USB bus, and has the problem. However if I
plug in an external USB keyboard it works fine.

I've found that depressing 2 keys at the same time doesn't report both
most of the time, and will often result in a runaway 'stuck' key. Also
if I run xev and do the same xev reports a continuous keypress event
with no release when the 'stuck' keys happen.
