btw, no one having issues in X server with these? I got two a few days ago 
and both have the same problems in gnome (I didn't try another window 
manager).

1. they randomly repeat characters I type. It's not that they repeat too 
fast or too early or so. It just happens randomly but much too often. I 
had to disable the key repeat. I tried the nvidia supplied X 
server/display driver but this didn't make a difference. I remembered  
that the CentOS Live CD doesn't have this problem and when I booted into 
it again and checked the kernel it was clear why: it uses the normal 
kernel.

2. the menus of the upper action bar often don't stick. Very often they go 
away right after the click, so that I have to press the mouse key most of 
the time to keep them in sight.

I haven't noticed any other bad signs for non-X programs and if it is 
confined to X or gnome only I'm happy, but I fear there might be more 
serious problems only revealed over time.
