I'm having the same problem, following Marius Tip theres one Input Device that keeps repeating events. Is this normal? It's really annoying, it interrupts all key holdings (even the arrow ones, ugh). The device that keeps repeating the events, and the repeated events:

If I open a virtual console, it looks like a phantom is typing ^@ about once per second. This prevents successfully typing a password, and is probably what is breaking autorepeat in the GUI terminals, although they don't show the ^@. Gnome terminal and guake also can't stay scrolled up in the buffer for more than a second before popping back down to the bottom. This problem happens in the Ubuntu desktop or Gnome and it doesn't matter if I pick the xorg or default Wayland options. It happens under both the open source and proprietary nvidia drivers. It also happens with a newly created user with no home directory baggage. xev reports a constant stream of the following about the same frequency as the ^@ in console: KeyPress event, serial 62, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0x1dd, subw 0x0, time 2243032, (20,-13), root:(1375,501), state 0x10, keycode 221 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False If I boot into a recovery shell, the problem does _not_ appear. My system was built with a fresh install of 17.04, installed my usual packages, then upgrade to 17.10 when the problem began. I'm certain it was not present in 17.04 for the few days before I upgraded. There were similar bugs reported a decade ago, but didn't help me. Expectation: Hold down any key in terminal window. After a moment, the letter should repeat until key is released. Actually: Key will repeat 0 or a few times, but stop repeating before I release the key.
