I don't think so. The code described in <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=142569&msg=58 > is still present: 980 void 981 EnqueueEvent(xE, device, count) 982 xEvent *xE; 983 DeviceIntPtr device; 984 int count; 985 { 986 register QdEventPtr tail = *syncEvents.pendtail; 987 register QdEventPtr qe; 988 xEvent *qxE; 989 990 NoticeTime(xE); 991 992 #ifdef XKB 993 /* Fix for key repeating bug. */ 994 if (device->key != NULL && device->key->xkbInfo != NULL && 995 xE->u.u.type == KeyRelease) 996 AccessXCancelRepeatKey(device->key->xkbInfo, xE->u.u.detail); 997 #endif Bug #121335 was a kernel-bug specific to some Toshiba laptops. Do you have such a laptop? If not, that bug report is probably a red herring. > Don't know if it is related, or not, but I also get some kind of delay > sometimes between pressing a key and seeing it on screen (not much, but > enough to notice, some millisec) As mentioned in <URL: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86&m=104879558008189&w=2 >, XKB handles key repeating in software, so perhaps this is related. > Under load it seems to be much worse. > > With > Option "XkbDisable" > it could not reproduce it, as proposed in #121335 > > I upgrade my bios recently, good it also be caused by this?

A buggy BIOS probably wouldn't help, especially if it's fooling with the timing of the delivery of keyboard interrupts. > I would be willing to assist in tracking down this issue, if you tell me > how.

I don't know where to grab any X.Org .debs off the top of my head, but someone else reading debian-x likely does. > This is a very big problem to me. I'm sorry, but I'm not really sure I can help you much with debugging XKB at a low level like this. Tagging the bug "help". -- G.
