This is worse than that. I'm seing the same kind of bug on a pure HID+EHCI = setup=20 and I've seen other reports of USB problems on the lists these past months. I can't just believe everyone and his cat has suddenly a faulty/broken keyb= oard. The fact is software autorepeat seems extremely brittle in 2.6 and goes nut= s every once in a while for *everyone* (and I also seem to remember this was not al= ways the=20 case - the first 2.5 I tried didn't go mad on my setup this only happened l= ater in=20 2.5.7x times I think). Now maybe the underlying keyboard drivers are feedin= g it junk I don't know but this is no justification for the way it's been misbehaving= (crap=20 hardware happens, glitchy hardware is common but the autorepeat code seems = to expect ideal behaviour that only happens on paper) Couldn't it at least detect there's a problem ? Most people I know do not p= ress a key 2000+ times in a row during normal activity.
