Tried this (suggested by other users having similar problems) - Manually configure the keyboard and mouse in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection So far, so good - no run-away key repeats. But still too early to say if this is a successful work-around. With this mod in, I did once get a keyboard lock-up (but there was lots other other stuff running - could have been another issue. Fortunately the mouse was still working, so I could still exit gracefully). -- keyboard starts repeating the last pressed key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
