After booting into 2.6.9-rc3 release kernel, I am seeing strange and annoying keyboard repeat behavior.
If I hold down a single key, while in X, the character will repeat at the expected (2.6.9-rc2 and prior) rate... for 1 second.
After 1 second, the keyboard repeat rate slows to half or more.
Can we please fix this? Config attached.
How does it behave on the console? The problem is that X generates its
own software autorepeat and ignores what the kernel feeds it. So I
suppose this might be more a gettimeofday or scheduling problem than one
with the input layer.
