The bug is back. The edit in rc.local fixed it for 2-1/2 weeks, but today the old fast-repeat misbehavior has returned on my USB keyboard, but not on the laptop's built-in keyboard. I checked rc.local and my fix is still there, has not disappeared. I am using Mint 6.0 On 4/4/09, Launchpad Bug

George, I entered your code in the terminal (with a change in the delay rate more to my tastes) and got this output: sudo kbdrate -r 15 -d 750 [sudo] password for gumby: Typematic Rate set to 15.0 cps (delay = 750 ms) And I can report that the internal keyboard in my laptop now responds
