Hello Timo, I have now tried this in Hardy alpha3 live CD, hold down shift key for 8 secs...xaccess dialog appears "enable slow keys" feature? (there is no system bell bleep) Clicked to disable this slow keys and not show the dialog again, this worked fine..holding down the shift key for more than 10 secs has no effect.
Back to Gutsy I know experimentally change -> System Settings.."Accessibility".."Modifier Keys" tab.."Use KDE system notification....etc" selected. "Keyboard filters" tab "Use slow keys" selected Hold down shift for 8 secs, system bell beeps but keys still work fine Change to "Keyboard filters" tab "Use slow keys" deselected Hold down for 8 secs, system bell beeps, keys fail (actually all keys make a system bell beep) BUT shift key still notifies KDE system with "accessibility" bleep so the keyboard/xserver is still working. By experiment, they way to clear the fault is to use the procedure:- "Use slow keys" selected, apply, deselected apply again, keys work again!! Or "Keyboard filters" tab "Use slow keys" selected, hold down shift key for 8 secs, and keys work again. So in conclusion it seems that the problem is not x server/xorg related, but that somehow the xaccess feature "slow keys" is misconfigured or broken. I have never seen the xaccess dialog in Fiesty or Gutsy. Any ideas how to fix it? If you need any further info/data or tests please let me know. Just found these references:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/41427 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4133661 So I suspect this is a bug that has been fixed in Hardy. -- shift key overflow locks keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
