On my core 2 duo machine running SUSE 10.1 I get a lot of key duplication while typing. Using KDE 3.5.1 and still happening with 3.5.5 from opensuse.

Any one else seeing this?
What kernel are you using? I reported exactly this problem a couple of times on the list, and was told various things (on list and off list) from I was stupid to all I have to do was kill the keyboard repeat in KDE to a defective keyboard to it wasn't a problem and I was imagining it. The general consensus was that the "correct" solution was the keyboard repeat setting.
If I use the default (SMP) kernel on the original release of SUSE10.1 everything works fine. If I upgrade to ANY other newer SUSE released kernel, the keyboard repeat gets so bad I cannot use the computer. (an AMD X2 3800+)
It's worth noting that in Kubuntu, I _am_ using the latest kernel builds, and have absolutely no problems at all with keyboard repeats. It is a kernel issue... that is the only common denominator to the problem. What exactly it is.. .I have no idea. All I can say is it is directly related to the kernel build for SUSE, and only for the SUSE kernel.
Same problem on 5 installs with SLES10 x86 and SUSE 10.1 x86. Not sure if I saw the problem on the x86_64 installs. The systems were socket AM2 AMD 4200+ HE and an AMD Opteron socket 1207s. The problem only becomes apparent after performing the online update. Prior to that everything seems to be working normally. I've used PS2 and USB keyboards as well as mice. The problem does get hidden if I disable key repeat (both KDE and GNOME), but that doesn't seem to be a real solution to the problem. -Alain. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
