No, I got duplication of the enter key on that command, and the next command
typed. (It spit back the word "true".
However something you said
"The problem is caused whenever , from the view of the Xorg process, the
system time goes backwards."
piqued my interest and tried to get the machine loaded up a bit (which is hard,
because I don't have a lot on it till I get this problem solved) innn order to
ggggeeeeet the xorg process bouncing frommm cpu to cpu.
(drat, there it goes again)
Then I looked up the pid of X and issued this command in a shell as root:
taskset -p 0x00000002 3565 (3565 is X pid)
That stopped all unwanted key repeats. Just to be cautious, I switched it back
to 0x00000003 and so on back and forth a few times. In each case, I saw NO
DUPLICATION while X was limited to a single cpu, and a re-occurance of
duplication as soon as I set the process free to run on any CPU.
While this is not an ideal way to operate, its provides one possible
workaround.
So is it a kernel bug, or an Xorg bug?
