Hi.
I have a Portege 4000 which has exactly the same problem. The problem only
occurs in X with the internal keyboard and it does not depend on the
operating system. I guess the bug is in the hardware and I have been
asking here if anyone can help me debug this but so far nobody has shown
any interest.
I have tried to use the BounceKeys option set to smaller value, and it
sure helps for a couple of minutes but then it seems to reset or
something.
One guy that has a Portege 4000 and Linux told that the problem is most
likely that the keyboard is sending multiple keyrelease events when it
should send only one. Now this could be probably cleaned up in the
keyboard driver. I don't know if it should be done in the kernel or in X.
