[ltp] Was: NumLk key on T41, shift_l been pressed all the time?

[obi]

i noticed that I have the same problem on my t41, and firing up xev told
me that the keyboard is sending a Shift_L once a second or so (without
the key been pressed). That explains the weird errors in my typing: am I
the only one to see this weird behaviour?

I'm running 2.6.7-mm7 on Debian sarge.
