Same here (happens *without* compiz). Including the LiveCD. For my hardware, it happens using Feisty or Gutsy, with or without effects (LiveCD can be used to reproduce).

I have a forum post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566216&page=2) where I've compiled a list of launchpad bugs that are likely duplicates of this, as well as forum threads, as well as some boot options I had tried and some I was going to try, but _using *acpi=off* seems to have worked for me_

I also opened a bounty for this, here - https://launchpad.net/bounties/bug-124406-keyboard-hangs-repeats - currently at $250 (not sure if there's a way people can contribute). Anyone know how active the Ubuntu bounties are and how people can contribute? Even if it's just $5, I'm sure many of you would like to get this bug noticed and fixed.

[ assuming no bug fix that works for everyone shows itself soon, there's a very good chance I'll be throwing up a website dedicated to this bug where we can compile a list of fixes and the hardware setups they work for - as well as track launchpad bugs ... this needs to be fixed in 8.04. this has caused a lot of people a lot of frustration and has kept a number of people from being able to use Ubuntu ... i'll post back here when it's ready ]
