--- Comment #7 from William fuquawa@rose-hulman.edu 2008-05-10 18:35:07 --- I have this happening to me as well, and I'm running Arch Linux. It only starts to happen when I'm in Wine, but continues even if I quit the application that I am running via Wine.
I get the same problem as the OP. I'm running a game under Wine (Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, in my case). About 5-10 minutes into the game, whatever key I'm pressing down at that particular moment gets repeated forever. When I exit the game, the key is still pressed down, making it impossible to use a terminal to debug it further. It also prevents me from switching to other terminals or restarting X via Ctrl-alt-bksp. I've noticed that when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the character 'P' is printed out among the repeated characters, so it may be possible that the keyboard is getting remapped. Since I cannot use a terminal when this problem is occurring, I made a script I could double click that kills X. This fixes the problem until the game is run again.
