- Hello!
-
- For some time I have been occasionally getting the above errors, even though
- I have LK401 keyboard (two pairs of Alt/Meta keys on both sides of the space
- bar). The errors were benign, until yesterday, when keyboards on both our
- DECstations went crazy and started autorepeating any key that was pressed
- and released (well, any key that is printed: CR is not affected, for instance)
- Pulling the keyboard cord seemed to fix the autorepeat problem on one
- keyboard, but it still seems to have some keys inoperative. The autorepeat
- setting of the server does not seem to affect this, and in any case the
- second DECstation was just sitting idle, so I don't believe that this problem
- is due to some silly change in configuration.
-
- No, no one spilled coffe on either keyboard.
