what did you use for testing? there are keyscanners that work either way,
maybe it even changed across different versions of the kernel (thats just
a wild guess, i actually dont think that is the case).

i've written some stuff in that area for my (unreleased, shame on me :=P)
sid tracker.... what you describe seems odd, are you sure your hw does
what its supposed to. (mmmh, ok, dumb question, you wouldnt be asking... :=))
i would suspect that multiple keypresses are generated or picked up by other
means from the ps/2 keyboard....what are you using, the key-press and key-release
or the actual keycodes?
