Re: Anti-gaming Behaviour of Keyboard Driver

In summary, the problem is simple...

The default keyboard driver doesn't allow multiple simultaneous key presses. This is a big problem for an FPS, as it means the player can either strafe, turn, or shoot. Looks like only four or so keys can be pressed simultaneously (tested with a couple Quake clients, Tyr Quake and Tenebrae). This might be an X limitation (?)

Ergo, the question is... Is this an artificial limit that can be lifted somewhere in config files, is this an X problem, or can this be solved by replacement of the keyboard driver (current keyboard is PS/2).

Distribution is sid (current).

The limitation might also be in the keyboard itself.
I found a thread on the logitech website about this:
