Hi, I sporadically encounter repetitions of my keystrokes. What happens is the following:
I press any key, say "a", and instead of getting just one "a" I get many. Not just a few but it is like if I would keep pressing the key. Then I have problems stopping this. Often it does not stop itself. I cannot tell what I have done exactly in these situations, but normally I tried to press other keys to make this stopping. I guess I often used Esc. Then normally it stops and afterwards everything is fine. But this happens quite regularly (once every few hours) and it is very annoying. This behaviour is somewhat new (since a few month). I am not sure, but maybe it started after switching from a Ubuntu system to Debian lenny now. The installed xorg has version 1:7.3+20. Sometimes (less often) something else happens. In this situation it seems that some modifier key (is this the right expression for the keys like Shift, Alt, Ctrl, Caps, ... ?) is pressed (but there is none pressed). Once it was like if Caps would have been activated. Other times like if AltGr would be pressed. I am not sure if this is a hardware or a software problem and where it might be located. Any hints?
