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:

It isn't the keyboard, of course, as the problem isn't there under Windows or DOS. Something somewhere is limiting the number of simultaneous keystrokes.
