I had a similar problem with the Gentoo 2.4.20 Linux kernels on a dual Athlon MP. It was a kernel timekeeping problem. The kernel functions that returned the time would report times that jumped around. I believe that when the time jumped forward a second or two, X decided that it should have been doing keyboard repeat during the mysterious missing seconds. If I remember correctly, it was a TSC related problem. Google found another possible solution, here: http://www.calpoly.edu/~rmartine/configure.html#Keyboard -- Zan Lynx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
