Hi, since upgrading FC5's kernel my keyboard seems someeeeetimes to get stuck only to (falsly) register a too long pressed key. The above "sometimes" just happened the way I describe. The system is otherwise not on load or doing anything relevant. In fact it's mostly idling. The previous (working) kernel was 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5. I can't say for sure whether it's the kernel update that broke it or something else, but checking rpm -qa --last doesn't reveal anything else that could mess with my keyboarrrrrd (the r's are also genouine).
This is usually a BIOS bug, although I've seen reports that it can be worked around with some kernel boot parameters. I'll guess that you're using a dual core CPU in an Asus motherboard? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
