[Bug 371066] Re: xorg key events not registering causing missed keypresses and sticking key repeats

 

Assigning to myself for bug triage.

Rudd-O, nothing is clear at the moment, we're all really poking in the
dark.  Please don't comment on this bug with your experiences, open one
for yourself instead or we risk having a mess again impossible to
untangle like in bug 124406.  Please open your own ticket and don't
interfere with triaging what's happening for Jason.

Jason, my apologies for the extreme delay in taking a look at this.  I
think there are three areas we need to take a closer look to understand
what is happening and where the problem is coming from; X and video
driver, the window manager and the kernel.

* Does this only occur under high load?
* please download http://oss.leggewie.org/wip/linux-image-2.6.31-rc4.20090726_rolf1_i386.deb and see if the problem occurs with that kernel as well.  Does booting with acpi=off help?
* does this occur with the VESA video driver?
* does this affect all or only selected keys?
* does it make a difference if this is an internal or external keyboard?  does it make a difference what connection you use (USB, PS/2, ...)?

Please attach Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf, the output of "xprop -root" and
"gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals".  Furthermore, please
include "uptime;cat /proc/interrupts". Make sure the error had occurred
before that.

Hopefully that will give us something to zoom in on.
