    Hi,

    since I upgraded my ASUS M2400N laptop from 2.6.10 to 2.6.11-rc5, I got
    an annoying key bounce problem. I'm not sure if it's purely a kernel
    problem, because it seems to occur only in xwindows, but booting back to
    2.6.10 made the bouncing disappear, and 2.6.11-rc5 seems to contain
    some changes to the keyboard driver.

    It looks like the sequence of events is the following:

    Usually, when I press a key, the char shows up on the screen
    immediately. But sometimes, the char does not show up until I press a
    second key, and in that moment, the first char shows up twice, together
    with the second one. (But I may be wrong with that observation, because
    the sequence of events is really fast - it's more like an impression
    than a real observation)

    What can I do to help debugging that problem? Are there certain -rc
    versions between 2.6.10 and 2.6.11-rc5 you want me to try out?

    Yours,
    Jan
