I also see "stuck" keys where a letter will repeat until the buffer is full. I see this on various hardware with various keyboards, so it isn't an actual stuck key. Do you see that also?

That sounds more like a dropped event somewhere such as dropped interrupt or the like. I haven't experienced that on any Linux box so far.

Stuck keys.

I've seen on 2.6.29. Unplugging and re-plugging the (USB) keyboard didn't fix it. Only switching to console and back did it. I was inclined to blame the new X input system. It hasn't happened since I upgraded X and also went to 2.6.30, so who knows?
