After finding out how to build xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse with this patch and testing the patched driver, I can now confirm your suspicion: removing the FlushButtons() call in VMMouseDeviceControl() fixes the bug.

Server aborting > > I suspect removing the call to FlushButtons in > src/vmmouse.c:VMMouseDeviceControl would fix this. Care to try that? I don't know how to do that Can you give me advice ? I admit if it comprises compiling the package, I'd prefer testing a package compiled by you. I'm not sure how much time I'll have over the week, so testing will be easier to do than compiling. But if it helps I can give it a try (provided you tell me how to do it) Regards Peter -- Peter Marschall [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#181423: there's an xorg.conf option for that
Hi, according to the man page ob the xorg keyboard driver "kbd", there is an option to change the keyboard delay and rate. Option "AutoRepeat" "delay rate" sets the auto repeat behaviour for the keyboard. This is not implemented on all platforms. delay is the time in milliseconds before a key starts repeating. rate is the number of times a key repeats per second. Default: "500 30". Maybe this helps.
