      You will be saying rightly that I should be on release 19 or 21, and you are right, but all attempts to install either on this Acer Aspire laptop have failed, so I am stuck with release 17.

      When I begin to type after a pause, say 20 seconds or more, I always get the first character repeated, and have to go back later to delete one of the pair. I attach the full inxi listing. I use a mouse, therefore I annul the touchpad with a script I found in a previous post.

      Thanks in advance for all responses.

          You may be able to change the kernel on the antiX 21 Live USB to 4.9 before you try to install it. So far, I have not found any of my old computers that wont work with antiX-21, and I have a lot of them.

          Sorry for not answering your question directly. I just picked up on your comment about trying antiX-19 and antiX-21.
