![]() I was wondering if it could be related to something else (like NetworkManager) blocking the cpu for a while right when I press a key, so that the key release signal is processed late causing a repeated-key behavior until the key release signal gets through. ![]() This was on a 2 year-old Dell Inspiron 6000, with a mobility radeon x300 card, a Pentium M 1.86GHz processor, ipw2200 wireless driver connected via wireless. See also this forum thread for other people with the same problem: ubuntuforums. Then when it becomes unstuck, the mouse moves around and everything. mouse won't move, clicks don't do anything, keyboard presses don't register. ![]() PS: When the keys would repeat all input devices would be locked up. It also happens more often with power-hungry apps like Firefox and Acrobat Reader for similar reasons. This happens more often with Compiz configurations because Compiz tends to increase system load. Somehow during these times the key-release signal gets lost and the key-press is repeated indefinitely. My best guess is that the problem occurs at time of high system load. Also, the problem happens with two different keyboards (internal laptop, external USB). When dual-booting to Windows, everything works fine. Others have reported the same problem without using either Xgl or Compiz. My previous configuration was Edgy + Xgl + Beryl, where this didn't happen. My configuration is Feisty + Xgl + Compiz Fusion. For example when clicking Alt-F4, sometimes it gets stuck so all the windows are closed instead of just one. often get 'stuck' and continue being 'clicked' even after they are physically released. Keyboard keys such as the arrows, Alt-F4, PageUp/PageDown, etc.
