"xset -r" or "xset r off" (see man xset) is a command which is supposed to turn off the keyboard repeat. However, when I run this in Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, it causes an endless stream of enter key inputs instead (as if you just held down the enter key). I've tried this on two different machines with the same results. Here are the steps to reproduce: 1) Open two terminal windows 2) In the first terminal window, enter "xset r" (no quotes) but don't hit the enter key yet. You'll need this command already typed in to gain control of the keyboard later when the X server goes into a loop of enter keys making typing of commands in the terminal at that point otherwise impossible. 3) In the second terminal window, enter "xset -r" (no quotes) and hit the enter key. Observe that instead of the repeat being turned off for the keyboard, a steady rapid stream of enter keypresses occur which makes typing into anything impossible because the enter keystrokes are interfering with whatever you are typing. 4) Now go back to the first terminal window and press enter to execute the command "xset r" which will turn the repeat back on. At this point, you should have regained control of keyboard input again.
