First of all, I have not been able to reach the website for this bug,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/264196,
in over a week.
I must point out that this bug is now happening approximately half the time
I start a Linux session. It's happening again today. Thi
The bug is fully understood and fully fixed, but it's quite complicated,
as it involves multiple components, specifically, the interaction
between X and kernel auto-repeat. That's also why the suggested
workarounds are quite different, and, presumably, why the devs are not
keen to backport the fix
@Rich Wales: yes, Intrepid is supported awhile longer, but only for bugs
that cause data loss or security issues.
@Reuben Thomas: hit unsubscribe. /me reaches for the unsubscribe button
himself.

Yep, no fix for 8.10. You will get it with 9.04 at the end of this month. (If
you really need the fix now, you can upgrade to the 9.04 beta with the command

has bugs in it)
Good luck.

Intending no disrespect here to the developers, I am less than happy

One small annoyance with using the Accessibility work-around, which at
this point is less of a problem for me than the insanely repeating keys
I'm otherwise experiencing...
For some reason, enabling "slow keys" is disabling the repeat completely
on my "down" and "left" arrow keys. It is a trade-of
Well, it seems silly (that we have to resort to this)- but Sarath's
solution works very well. Just be sure to set the delay all the way to
"short".

I noticed the same problem as Nolan. Further, I was able to modify my
settings using the System > Preferences > Keyboard GUI until today. I
tried changing the repeat rate with kbdrate and then noticed that the
settings in the GUI didn't have any effect any more.

I have an odd twist on this. For me, it seems like there are two
settings.
If I set the delay to minimum, and the speed to max, I get the following
behavior:
Immediately repeat is very fast, until the default (unconfigurable) delay time
expires, at which point the repeat rate slows down again.
I find that before using the workaround, setting the keyboard delay
slider all the way to the right *does* increase the delay time, but not
by as much as it should.

Per the comments later on- disable AutoAddDevices TEMPORARILY. Adjust
the key delay/repeat until it is what is desired, then re-enable
AutoAddDevices. It's a PITA if it takes you awhile to tweak your
keyboard repeat just-right, but it works. Once you re-enable
AutoAddDevices- your multimedia, lapto
