Surely not autorepeat... Well, ps/2 does not provide timestamps, neither does USB AFAICT. So if you hit say interrupt latency, you'll repeat keys one too many times or something. [But if X does autorepeat in software, that's even worse. That means that scheduling latency can cause autorepeat glitches, and that's probably what I'm seeing here. And I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate when my tyyyyyyping goes like this just because I have background load.] Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
