Losing a keystroke or two?

Losing a keystroke or two?

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi,
  I maybe going mad (or it may be too late) - but I've been starting X,
quitting and restarting - and there are a couple of times over the last
day where I could have sworn that I pressed return on the startx and had
to hit return again.

This is 2.4.1-ac2 with XFree 4.0.2 on Alpha.

OK - it might be just going mad; but I'm fairly sure its loosing a key
there.....

Dave

Re: Losing a keystroke or two? -- no problem, I have seen even duplicating keystrokes

That's nothing, I've had iMac usb keyboard typing "cdcd " instead of
"cd " when I typed too fast.

That really drived me mad. I found out that keyboard just can't cope
with me pressing ("c down" "d down" "space down" "c up") -- all normal
keyboards can handle that normally.

Check that you are not pressing something like I did -- it happens
pretty often when you touch-type.
