On the crashing note, often when I have things looping, newly launched apps will crash out. Firefox (latest beta) and Tomboy are two key examples of this. When I can next safely restart X, I'll force a modifier key lock-up. I think that's what causes most crashes.
nq: open up a terminal, force the bug and switch back to the terminal. Are you seeing repeated keystrokes? And yeah, looks like I'm on the right version: xserver-xorg-core: Installed: 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu6 Candidate: 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu6 Version table: *** 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu6 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status -- Keys get "stuck" down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
