Yes, sorry about that, it _probably_ does only apply to repeat keys. I
*thought* I saw an option somewhere to buffer incoming keys in addition to
above but am easiliy confuzed. I'm not about to reboot to find out!
As an experiment only, you might try knocking out as many services and
daemons as possible to pour the processing krunch into kde. It might not help
one brass bit, but every indication is that the keyboard codes (not
characters) are coming in too fast for a gui to handle. Linux does not use
bios anything. Therefore all keycode translation is done by Linux. In the
case of terms, they (generally) rely on the kernel itself whereas kde makes a
meal of translating keystrokes into unicode before passing it thru an I18n
(language) filter. In the case of konsole (eg) the reason why, it too, shows
grabled characters is because kde is passing IT the char, because kde first
needs to look for magic like alt F4 alt F2 etc.
You could also knockout gpm. It can be nasty it's monitoring chars for it's
clipboard.
Point of sale readers generally have a binary that limits the character rate
from them to the computer. I'll look at one tomorrow to see if it exhibits
same behaviour and get back to you. Isn't there a windows app? that sets up
this animal?
