Hello,
I have a strange problem on my laptop[1] wherein I need sometimes need to
enter keystrokes twice in order for them to be recognised. For
example, I type 'ls' but the 's' needs to be entered twice. The
problem has bee present for some time and I have noted the following:
(1) I see the problem both when typing on the laptop keyboard and when
logging in using ssh: this suggests it is not a keyboard problem.
(1a) I see the problem both in xterms and on the console.
(2) I have never had a problem logging in. That is to say, the
problem does not manifest itself when entering passwords and
pass-phrases.
(3) I have never observed the problem when su'd to root.
(4) I have never seen the problem inside screen.
If anyone has any suggestions as to where I might look I'll be most
grateful.
Thanks,
Roger
