Summary: HID generates two events for each keypress

Initial Comment:
With Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and pd-extended Pd version 0.42.5-extended-20100516 [hid] outputs 2 events for every keypress with an AT Translated Set 2 keyboard. The attached patch is the simplest patch to reproduce this error.

Message:
My guess is that it is related to the keyboard that you are using.  Do you
get double-events from any other device?  Like double mouse clicks? [hid]
just reports the events it gets from the OS.  It is possible that there are
bugs in the keyboard itself, and in how the Linux kernel is interpretting
your keyboard.

I can confirm that this also happens with Pd version 0.42.5-extended-rc2 on
Ubuntu 10.04
