Description Roger Nordqvist 2003-06-17 15:10:15 UTC

A lot of laptop users got problems with keys repeating themself. Ive tracked it down to 
usage of Xkb. If I set Option "XkbDisable" in /etc/XF86Config it works ok, but instead a 
lot of keycombos die.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Example of me writting on my Toshiba Satellite 5100-503 laptop. 
 
Well, here is an example of whhatt i mean. Ive seeen this been descussed in thee 
forums quite a lot but no reaal solution. 
 


Ive found a link that I think is related to this problem and someone with programming 
skills may produce a patch maybe.

This should be fixed in xorg-x11 as well as xfree-4.3.0-r6 patchset 2.1.26.17.
