I just did a fresh Gentoo 1.4 rc2 install on my desktop PC and I've been
having some issues with the keyboard repeat rate and delay. At a
framebuffer console, the repeat rate was going really slow, so I put the
following in my /etc/conf.d/local.start file:
/usr/bin/kbdrate -r 24.0 > /dev/null

That cleaned up the console for me. But once I got X working, I've been
having trouble with X. While typing things in a terminal (or even as I
type this e-mail), some keys seem to *stick* and they repeat themselves a
few (actually , usually a lot like 20-40) times. It seems that this might
only happen when there is a CPU load (like while I'm emerging something).
Even then, this never happened before. Any suggestions? I tried messing
with the keyboard rate with xset, but couldn't seem to find a value that
stopped this behavior. Is the console's keyboard rate messing with X's
rate?
