Re: keyboard problems

i have a little keyboard problem on my blueberry imac with the
standard usb keyboard: whenever i type something very quickly
followed by space the typed in will be repeated before the
space (best example: i want to type "cd " and get "cdcd ")
- this gets a bit annoying - does anybody have the same
problem (or even a fix for it) ? - is it more a soft-
wareproblem (i hope :-) or maybe a hardwareproblem ?
(i had it on all kernels from 2.2.x to 2.4.0-testx)

It's simply a bug in the USB keyboard driver.  It just means that the
driver isn't coping with the "overflow" code that the keyboard sends
when it has too many keys depressed at once.
