I'm having the same issue on Intrepid on a Compaq NX6110 Laptop. Clean install of Ubuntu 8.10; Change the keyboard repeat rate under System Preferences. All keys are affected by the new repeat rate, except for the "left arrow" and "down arrow". (Can't really test "end" repeat rate!)
I do not recall having the same problem with other distributions or versions of Linux. I will double check and confirm. My suspicion is either a driver problem, or a hardware problem. Lets eliminate the latter by confirming that it can indeed work properly. I am available to do any tests if necessary. -- The key repeat delay for the "down-arrow", "left-arrow", and "End" keys is longer than the other keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
