Hi,
Just want to say that this problem seemed to be solved on its own!
Yesterday, I just started my system, and no longer does my keyboard behave
as erratic as that.

I've really not investigated on what really had happened, but, at the first
thought, I think the re-boot did all the trick. Never knew that Linux also
needs a reboot for solving problems ;-)

Thanks for all your suggestions though; they've atleast enlightened me on
what I should check before I send out an SOS.

Regards,
Arvind.
