laptop keyboard issues

[Nathan England]

All,

Before I send my laptop into Dell for 2 weeks and lose all my work flow, I 
want to know if anyone has seen or experienced this. While typing the 
keyboard suddenly begins repeating keys until any other key is pressed. It is 
completely random when it does it and it could be any key it feels like.

My BIOS (Inspiron 700m) doesn't allow key-repeat changing. I disabled key 
repeating in KDE and that seems to have fixed the problem, but life is 
difficult when you can't repeat an arrow key... try it sometime for kicks or 
as a cruel joke to a co-worker (hey, great April 1 joke, turn off key-repeat 
on every machine in the office...)

I read somewhere that this is a kernel bug but not quite sure. Anyone familiar 
with this event?

Nathan
