random sticky keys and mouse clicks in X
 
I am running Debian Etch (testing) but I have also thrown in a Ubuntu Live disc and had the same results.

Basically at any given point a random key I press will get "stuck" (not physically) and just take off till I hit another button. I usually notice this arrowing down pages or such but it has happened on almost every key (escape key is set to close tabs in Opera and it just took off closing all sorts of things). I don't think I've experienced this in straight console so I'm guessing it is related to X. Also this didn't happen in windows so it's not the keyboard. And besides it also seems to happen with mouse clicks, they don't register till I move the cursor at times.

Here is my xorg.conf ... let me know anything else I might need to include. Oh, it's a Mitac 7020 laptop (which is reported to work very will with linux).

(just did it with the enter key ;) )

Code:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#

# values from the debconf database.

if only does it in X
Code:

        Option                "XkbModel"        "pc104"
        Option                "XkbLayout"        "us"

try #'ing out
Code:

#        Option                "XkbModel"        "pc104"
        Option                "XkbLayout"        "us"

as for your mouse, it seems to be configured as a usb mouse
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier        "Configured Mouse"
        Driver                "mouse"
        Option                "CorePointer"
        Option                "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option                "Protocol"                "ImPS/2"

you could try changing it to
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier        "Configured Mouse"
        Driver                "mouse"
        Option                "CorePointer"
        Option                "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option                "Protocol"                "auto"

or
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier        "Configured Mouse"
        Driver                "mouse"
        Option                "CorePointer"
        Option                "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option                "Protocol"                "ps2"

if x fails to load change it back

Did not help :(

I have turned of repeat in XFCE's keyboard settings and it stopped... but it's almost intolerable to use without repeat :(
