Title:
  caps lock turned on automatically from time to time

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Hi,

  since upgrade to lucid i got this problem more often and more "dramatically":
  From time to time it looks like caps lock is enabled (without showing the caps light btw!): LIKE AT THE MOMENT *NARF*
  I CANNOT TURN IT OFF (BUT if i turn caps lock on -> light turns on, letters are normally again). As you can see, the caps turned off at "BUT" by itself. This is not a joke, its really annoying. It takes up to a few minutes till the problem is gone.
  The following didn't help:
  - typing setxkbmap into a terminal (was suggested in some forum)
  - switching windows / turn off some random running programs like openoffice, firefox, thunderbird, whatever
  - slapping the keyboard
  - buying a new keyboard...
  - switching from a ps/2 to a usb keyboard (so ps/2 port is fine, too)
  - pull keyboard and push again in (so kind of a "reset")
  - pressing nearly all keys didn't help, too.

  So this simply sucks (sorry). I stops me from working from time to
  time, since even with pressed caps lock key, i only can type the
  normal letters, signs like . or , are always upper case, so : or ;.

  I don't know where the problem comes from, i also asked at irc a few
  days ago, but only suggestions like replacing keyboard, which i have
  done yet, doesn't help.

  I got one error message once(!) when the problem occoured: atkbd.c:
  Spurious NAK on isa0060/serio1. Some program might be trying access
  hardware directly.

  so something seems to be there, but i don't know what.

  The problem occoured on 09.10, too, but only for one letter from time
  to time (so i didn't notice the most of the time, only when having a
  vnc/rdp session to some windows box for example, because after a few
  times pressing the shift key, you'll get some notice about enable some
  helping key functions or something like that).

  would be nice to get this fixed...

  REGARDS::: AND THERE IT IS AGAIN:::(CRAP)

  SVEN

  PS:
  ha! i swtiched to console -> but not there, switched back to x -> problem gone too - but this might not help and maybe the bug  was gone by itself again, but i'll try this again when it happens again, which will be within the next minutes/hours i guess..)

  PPS: this is the third time i try to report this bug, the other two
  times i just got an oops from launchpad...
