Hello, I’m a new user of openSUSE and just installed it on my HP DV6 computer. I’ve upgraded to Tumbleweed although the problem exists in base openSUSE 11.4 as well, whenever I’m typing sometimes it seems that a particular key(Most likely the last one) get’s sort of “stuck” automatically and gets repeated 10-12 times. This problem did not exist in Windows, Ubuntu or Fedora. Can anyone help?

always tell what desktop environment you are using, please…
assuming your chosen desktop environment has a Configure Desktop -
Personal Setting (or something similar) seek in there something like
“Accessibility” and go through each tab (mine has tabs for bell,
modifier keys, keyboard filters and activation gestures) and un-check,
or otherwise disable everything in that set up area…then click “Apply”…
and let us know if that helps…please.

I’m sorry, I’m using KDE 4.7 with openSUSE Tumbleweed(11.4). My laptop has a AMD Phenom II N950 with Radeon HD5650M/4200 and I’m using fglrx drivers for display. I’ve disabled everything in Accessibility and apart from that I also increased keyboard repeat delay found in YaST > System Keyboard Layout > Expert settings. I don’t seem to be encountering this issue since I’ve done that.
Thanks for your help.
It seems that the problem isn’t resolved, it is still happening.

you should always post to the tumbleweed forum unless you are absolutely
certain the is NOT one which crept in though the tumbleweed repo…
that is why there is a tumbleweed repo: so folks using that software can
compare what is going on and then report a bug to the tumbleweed
developers…
please!

But the issue is also present in a fresh openSUSE 11.4 install.

a fresh install of what?
a “fresh install” while keeping the /home partition of an earlier
version of openSUSE?
or another distro?
or, a fresh format and install of openSUSE 11.4 and KDE4.6.0 keeping NO
partitions, grub or anything else of any previous linux…and, then
zero customizations, tweaks, and etc…but with all updates applied by
YaST Online Update ??
if it happens then i want you to give me a lot more information on
your hardware and tell me you did this prior to the fresh install:

Absolutely fresh install, Hard disk wiped clean. And I did verify the installation media. Mine laptop is HP Pavilion DV6 with N950 as its CPU(HP Pavilion dv6-3302 I believe), I have tried to force the keyboard type(It detected it as generic keyboard before) and am trying to see if that worked. This happened even straight out of the box, no YaST updates or anything.
Systemsettings - Input devices - Keyboard - Hardware. Try the HP laptop keyboards. No doubt there’s one that will work properly. But…I don’t know how the changes already made influence this.
If the problems persist, create a new user, logout, login as that new user and see if the problem exists for the new user. If so, there’s a setting in your homedir that’s causing it (to persist)
I’ve changed it to HP dv5 keyboard(Closest one I could find), so far it seems okay. I’ll let you know.
IIRC that’s the one I chose for a DV6 some time ago. Haven’t heard the owner about it since, yet I know he’s still running openSUSE and satisfied with it.
It works fine now, thank you for the suggestion.
