Got an odd problem. xfce settings>keyboard repeat is lost on a reboot,
and I have to spend an hour or more, playing around with the repeat
settings, selecting different keyboards, the whole maryann before I can
get the repeat to work gain.
This keyboard is an escapee from a failed windows all in one that died
from monitor damage a couple weeks after I bought it, wired, usb, says
its an hp on the back, at least 115 keys, maybe more. has mute, vol up
and down keys above the arrow pad, and a 1/4 moon symbol on a 4th key
that puts the monitor to sleep and only a power down reset will reboot
to restore it. Front panel reset has no effect once this button has been
pushed.

Does anyone have an idea how to make this repeat function survive a
reboot?, and what keyboard I should select from that pulldown on the
settings>keyboard menu?
Thanks
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
