Re: [MiNT] FreeMiNT initial key stuck

[Vincent Rivière <vincent.riviere@freesbee.fr>]

I added several debug traces in the FreeMiNT kernel to find where that 
repeated key comes from, I have been unable to find it. It seems that the 
initial character is inserted repeatedly by some mysterious background 
process into the console buffer, without triggering a keyboard event.

So I had an idea. EmuTOS (and probably TOS) uses the Timer C to handle the 
key repeat feature. FreeMiNT replaces the keyboard handlers. Would it be 
possible that the EmuTOS key repeat routine on Timer C is still called 
periodically ? I guess the EmuTOS keyboard routines are not called after 
FreeMiNT replaces them. So if EmuTOS key repeat feature is enabled by a long 
keypress at startup, it will never be stopped because it will never see the 
key release event.

What do you think ?
