I just fixed a "stick and auto-repeating" keys problem on my Dell Core2 Duo laptop by adding some boot parameters that disable some kernel features:
highres=off nohz=off noapm I had originally added these same parameters on two other laptops (Acer Aspire and HP Pavillion, both built around AMD64 CPUs with ATI shared- memory video) to cure their random hard freezes. It seems likely that either the high-res timer or the tickless feature in the latest kernels is very bad medicine, on certain hardware at least. -- 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
