Re: Squeeze : Keyboard problem as if a key is always pressed
2009/11/29 Michele Lucca michele_...@yahoo.com: Since yesterday I have this problem: sometimes, after some use, the sytem (Debian Squeeze) becomes a little unresponsive to mouse and keyboard (some clicks and keystrockes are lost). It is as if a mute key is always pressed. If I switch to console (ctrl-alt-F1), I see a cotinuous series of �...@^@^...@. This stop and start if I press capslock. In recent updates I can't see anything related to this. Any ideas? Can you test with different hardware? Maybe the keyboard is bad (this would affect the mouse too on ps/2). -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm trying with different distribution (a live ubuntu) to exclude an hardware failure. No problem with it up to now, but even on debian the problem not always appears. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I would test with xev to see if that can tell you whether the x-server receives something from the keyboard, but I have no guess as to the cause. My hope would be for xev to tell you that key is being pressed all the time, or something similar. / johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Noticed continuous ^...@^@^...@^@ in VCs after killing X, it even prevented me from logging in on a second VC for awhile, but that seemed to resolve itself somehow. xev showed keycode 232 and 233 being continuously pressed and released, which on my laptop is Fn+Up and Fn+Down, mapped to xf86brightnessup and xf86brightnessdown. Rebooted and the problem appeared to be gone until I tried to adjust brightness by using Fn+Down, which caused the unending key press events to start again. xset has no effect. I'll boot a LiveCD shortly to see if the problem occurs there. I have my caps lock key mapped to escape, so I will try remapping back to caps lock to test if this has any effect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can confirm that setting brightness, which is Fn+Up and Fn+Down in my laptop as well, is the cause of the problem. Also to me xev showed keycode 232 and 233. Watching recent updates, I sow acpid 1.0.10-3 - 1.0.10-4. Restarting acpid (/etc/init.d/acpid restart) stops the problem until brightness is set again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I have the same problem, only with the xf86Display key, which on my laptop is Fn F4. /etc/init.d/acpid restart corrects this here too.
