I am having an issue with keystroke repetition in Linux. I have tried different keyboards with the same result, so my guess is a driver issue. My system administrator hasn't had any luck finding a solution thus far, so I thought I'd try posting here. Anyhow, the problem is that, periodically, single keystrokes become multiple keystrokes. For example....

ttttyyyypppppiiinnngggg rrrraaaaaandom words to show how ttttthhhheeeee ppprroooobbbblllleeemmmm sssshhhhoooowwwsss iiiitttttself. iiitttt dddoooeeeessssnnnn'''t haaaaapppppppeeeennnn aaaaalllllllll the time, but often enough ttttoooo bbbeeeee aaaa rrrrreeeeeaaaaaallll pppaaaiiiinnnn iinnnnnn tttthhhheeeee aaaaassssssss....

It seems to be random in occurrence and duration. I don't have root access, so I will have to forward any suggestions to my sys-ad.

If it makes any difference, the machine is an HP xw9300 with dual AMD Opterons, running Red Hat (2.4.21-27.ELsmp from uname).

Typing this message sucked.
