Since quite some time I upgraded to the latest kernel
(2.6.0-test6). Up until a few days ago, I'd been using 2.5.62
(originally needed to upgrade 2.4->2.5 for better USB palmsync
support).
Since the upgrade, I am experiencing some oddities regarding
keyboard handling - and it's definetely not a hardware problem (the
problem is there consistently in 2.6.0 and consistently NOT present
in 2.5.62).
The problem shows up like this - under X, I have a number of
keyboard bindings to start a few applications (xterm, mozilla,
pine, ...).
Since the upgrade to 2.6, sometimes, a key combination doesn't
work; or gets triggered 3 or 4 times...
Also, when the input focus is still in a text window, I see, that
sometimes, ctrl+alt don't react properly (e.g. input focus is on an
xterm - I press CTRL+ALT+m to start mozilla through a binding,
mozilla doesn't get started - instead an 'm' appears in the xterm
(showing that at least the CTRL didn't make it... ;-(
The hardware I am experencing problems with, is an IBM Thinkpad
A30p (uses standard AT keyboard drivers).
Any clue, how to fix this?

But 2.6.0-test6 is only a few days old. Is your "quite some time"
two days, or are you talking about some older version?
-test5 and -test6 are very different in this respect.

Sorry if I hadn't been clear enough on that part...
"Quite some time ago" I upgraded (from 2.4.18) to 2.5.62...
"Since that time", I hadn't updated kernel versions - I did the
update to 2.5.x only for better USB-palmsync support.
*Yesterday* I fetched the latest kernel (2.6.0-test6) and tried
that one - and THAT one is causing the problems...
I hope it's clearer now...
