I believe the SuSE versions you describe X from Xorg and also use frame buffer displays Do you know if the other distros you tried use either? -Sean On Fri, 8 Jul 2005 13:11:02 -0600 Mark Chernault wrote:

I got a similar problem with the keyboard. I believe it was related to a timing issue, caused by some problems with the interrupts. For instance, time was not linear on this machine, it keeps jumping back and forth all the time. Very odd behavior, the OS was really confused. With APIC disabled in the BIOS and some kernel updates, it got better... ...Luc... leluc@mac.com On Jul 8, 2005, at 2:11 PM, Mark Chernault wrote:

Problem Description:

Keyboard - While holding down any key, that character will repeat on the screen about 30-160 times until it pauses for a second before displaying several of the same character at once, and will then continue to repeat until the next pause. This occurs on the console, in xterms, remotely, in different shells, and in different editors. It also occurs while typing normally.

Mouse - While in X, moving the mouse in circles for about 10s-60s, the mouse will pause for a second and then jump to where it thinks it should be. If I continously move the mouse in circles it will pause just about every minute.

I've only had the problem occur in SuSE Professional, 9.1 64bit, 9.3 32bit, 9.3 64bit. I didn't encounter the problem in the Sun Java Desktop, gentoo or in OpenBSD. The problem occurs using the latest SuSE kernel, as well as with kernel 2.6.13-rc1. We currently have 4 W1100z's that have SuSE 9.3 Pro 64bit on them, and all 4 exhibit the same problem.

Thanks in advance for any help. If you need more information let me know.
