The problem is extra characters sent to the machine while typing fairly fast. It can be easily reproduced doing this: 1. xset r off 2. press and keep pressed a key, say 'd' 3. press and keep pressed another key, say 'w' 4. release the first key 5. at this point you should see "dwww" which is not what I expect ("dw") 6. release the second key 7. at this point I see a "dwwww" On a PS/2 keyboard connected directly to a PS/2 port (no converter in between), this doesn't happen. Unfortunately I've got no USB keyboard to try directly without the USB->PS/2 converter. I was wondering if this is a problem of the USB converter or a problem of the ukbd driver. Does anybody else experience the same behaviour? Cheers, -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de
