Hi all,

I'm not sure if this actually caused by dfly, however the installed 
Windows on the same machine doesn't show the following problem.

The input repeat frequency of the ps/2 hardware sporadically accelerates 
to insanely fast rates, affecting mouse and keyboard.

dmesg shows the following when this happens, however it does only happen 
within X, not on a terminal.

[dmesg]
psmintr: delay too long; resetting byte count
psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008).
psmintr: discard a byte (1).

psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008).

[/dmesg]
