key jamming

[kazuki]

i'm new to linux n i'm loving it all the way.

right now i'm using mandriva one 2008 spring, i tried win 0.9.60 and i just installed 0.9.61.
i noticed a strange behavior from both versions that when i tried playing windows games, sometimes the key will jam, and it will remain jammed even after i quit wine until i rebooted. this has never happened before.

the key jamming doesn't happen immediately, it happens about 5 - 10 mins within playing a game or etc.

This is not Wine problem if it happens even when Wine is not running. It's been reports that some mouse emulators (where you can emulate mouse from keyboard) introduce this problem.

i don't think i'm running any mouse emulators, and everytime it happened i was using wine. any suggestion or where i should start looking to get the key jam fixed?

Your best hope is to come up with a minimal recipe for repeating
the bug. This won't be easy...
you should also rule out obvious things like keyboard failure by
testing with different keyboards (even if you know your keyboard is good).
