I'm having the same problems, and I think its X related. I run kbdrate on boot up, and everything is fine untill I run X. The kbd suddenly speeds up not just in virtual consoles in X, but also back in the text console terms as well. I have to run kbdrate now, every time I turn around. There is, to me, something suspicious that I haven't noticed before. The last lines of the text console after starting X now include: SetKbdSettings - type: 0 rate: 5 delay: 105 snumlk: 0 SetKbdSettings - succeeded Where is this coming from? Its NOT the AutoRepeat thing in XF86Config, this is something new thats been added recently. -- "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." -- Voltaire Ed C.
