Yeah well, obviously it's not the former. As for the latter, the qualification is very subjective. It's very annoying when it happens, but I must admit I can sort of live with it (I already have for all these years). It's just a pity such a lame thing hasn't shown up before production, supposing it is actually something that can be fixed with a BIOS patch (a question which hasn't been answered yet). Anyway, God certainly kills a kitten every time my auto-repeat gets stuck. :/ -- To err is human, to purr feline. -- 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
