Well I've just seen an FC box (6? 7?) running a 2.6.18-ish which
reliably experiences the same problem (randomly stuck keys), so I
doubt very much it's CFS. Basically keys will somewhat randomly
repeat 6-7 times, mainly depending on how fast you're typing (the
intern using the box typed somewhat slowly and didn't trigger it
much, but when I borrowed his keyboard I could reliably trigger it
once every 5 sec or so. Unfortunately I don't have access to that
box anymore, so I can't really debug the problem.
Cheers,
