Monitor format for ProFiles
pablo_marx:
Using the same x86_64 Debian 12 machine, I checked out lisaem from arcanebyte's repo, commit 61d55b3c837be3c04a89f8e95bfa2852094dfe66, and built lisaem (another debug build FWIW). I have had no keyboard issues with the Smalltalk or Old Monitor Sources Profile images. I've been able to launch Smalltalk and assemble the monitor sources (both requiring some amount of typing). So I'm afraid I haven't a clue what @TorZidan's issue may be.

Do you happen to know which version of wxWidgets was installed? I'm not sure we've updated the Linux build script lately, so maybe the issue is 3.2.7 or similar.
pablo_marx:
On my initial Linux build with Ray's repo, I let lisaem build and install wx-widgets, so it appears to be v3.1.5-gtk. I'd be hard pressed to guess why wx-widgets would only affect the keyboard with these Monitor disks... I've also tried each keyboard locale and each IO ROM (but not every combination of them) and haven't had any keyboard issues.
TorZidan:
Thank you, pablo_marx@, for the clues!
I built and run LisaEm version 1.2.7-RC4_2022.04.01, and I still had the repeating keys issue.
So I started digging into the preferences and menu items, and I finally figured it out: In the "Key" menu, somehow I have chosen "Raw Keyboard".
Changing it to "ASCII Keyboard" fixed it!
I have no idea what are these different keyboard options, but am glad that this case is closed.

For IRL hardware, the I/O Board ROM is used exclusively by the Floppy Disk Controller's 6504... the 68000 can't even access it.
So the IO ROM version shouldn't have any affect on COPS/KeyBoard/Parallel/Serial/Sound etc.
I'd suppose that if you find one of these things is affected by the IO ROM version in the emulator, that might merit a bug report.
The exception is that the PRAM is in fact the 6504's RAM that also can be accessed by the 68000, so there is the potential for the I/O Board ROM to interfere with access to, or alter the PRAM.
