    Hey all. I recently got a Toshiba Satellite laptop and installed
    Slackware Linux 8.1 on it. Everything works fine but the sound, which
    I am currently working on, and a very irritating glitch in X. When
    typing quickly, every 4-5 characters one of them gets doubled, typed
    twice. A little thing, yeah, but bloody annoying when your typing
    speed suddenly has to halve. I've tried resetting the character
    repeat rate to no useful effect, and this doesn't happen when in plain
    console mode, and happens no matter what WM I'm using, so it's rather
    puzzling. I've never run across this before and was wondering if
    anyone out there has any idea what's going on.

    Thanks a million,
    Simon
