Just to make things a bit more clear, the log immediately before the key events included in my previous log message was:
3742100 affb 4806 454d 0000 0004 0004 003a 0000 3742120 affb 4806 4557 0000 0001 003a 0001 0000 3742140 affb 4806 455a 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 3742160 affb 4806 8e76 0001 0004 0004 002d 0000 3742200 affb 4806 8e80 0001 0001 002d 0001 0000 3742220 affb 4806 8e83 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 (i.e. I was saving a file in emacs with C-x C-s). I tend to hit the keystroke fairly quickly. Some other users have suggested that their laptop coming under load tends to aggravate this -- the file saving event would have occurred as soon as I hit the "C-s", so there would have been a small burst of work, though the system was largely unloaded. This might explain why I've never seen streams of "a"s or "e"s when hitting C-a or C-e to go to the beginning or end of a line. laptop_mode was disabled on the laptop, and frequency scaling active, since I've seen some mention of maybe frequency scaling being relevant. -- Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
