I just tested that, and I can confirm the same regression on intrepid.
Since you, Daniel Hollocher, and I can confirm the left/down arrow
regression on intrepid when we use the patched evdev packages, we should
probably let go of intrepid and focus on jaunty, since both Daniel and I
cannot reproduce this regression on jaunty when using the patched evdev
packages.

I believe that the left/down regression was fixed somewhere in between
intrepid and jaunty's xserver, since, when I cherry-picked the latest
jaunty xserver packages onto my intrepid box, the regression was not
present, even when using my patched evdev package.  (Note that cherry
picking packages, in general, is a risky idea in terms of overall
stability, and I've since reverted the xserver packages on my intrepid
box to the intrepid versions, but doing it can be useful for experiments
like this.)

I will leave the intrepid evdev packages in my ppa anyways, in case
someone wants to still play around with them, but I don't advise using
them, and it's too late for any fix like this to appear in intrepid
anyways, whereas at least the chance for this fix to appear in jaunty is
nonzero.  And since jaunty thus far has *not* been shown to be affected
by the left/down arrow regression, this is why we still need more
testers for the ppa package in jaunty.

As an aside, I also tested evdev-2.2.0 (a much newer version of the
evdev in jaunty) on my jaunty box.  I won't put it in my ppa, but it
automatically reflects the patch for the repeat bug that I used to patch
the package in my ppa archive.  Like we would expect, I also tested it
to solve repeat bug.  So, if we cannot patch jaunty's evdev package to
include the fix, the good news is that the first ubuntu version (likely
jaunty+1) to use evdev-2.2.0 or greater will get this fix for free.
