I have an Opteron machine running 9.3 with a weird keyboard behavior. It's a Tyan 2895 K8WE (the dual PCI-express one) with 2x Opteron 250 on it, and 4GB of RAM. As soon as I start X (KDE), the keyboard starts behaving erratic: if I press one key, I get a several times the same character. Very annoying. It behaves fine in the console mode (without X). I played around with BIOS settings (key repeat and delay), and the X11 settings. Still the same. It does it both with a PS2 and a USB keyboard. Anybody have seen anything like this ?
I have seen this occasionally with my dual opteron Iwill ZMaxDp, a dual PIII box and a new quad opteron Tyan box. I had put it down to the cordless keyboard/mouse I use and an occasionally radio noisy environment.

I see this too often with dual opteron Sun W2100. I had blamed it on the cordless keyboard/mouse as well. It sure can be annoying. It happens a lot with the default 9.3 kernel. It happens less with a clean 2.6.11.6 kernel. eric
