I just switched to Xubuntu 7.04 on my IBM Thinkpad G30 Laptop and it's dropping keystrokes! I never had that problem with Fedora.

More to the point, since this is a Fedora list, what is it in Fedora that does this right?
I doubt anyone on this list will be able to pin point the exact difference between Fedora and Xubuntu that is causing your problem - it's rather a lot to ask given the scant information you've provided. I'd think you'd get much more help detailing your problem with much much more detail on an xubuntu mailing list.

Just curious why the original poster wanted to switch. Fedora has a fabulous support structure with very helpful and very knowledgeable folks on the m/l (perhaps why the poster posted here) in addition to very high-quality latest software, which is not true of *ubuntu. if the goal was to get xfce (sorely lacking in fedora), i think rahul sundaram mentioned sometime ago that there will be a xfce version also from F9 onwards.
