I have noticed that my up arrow and right arrow auto-repeat work fine, but not my left and down arrows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to evdev 2.2.5 (2.2.x I believe really) 2. auto repeat does not work on some keys 3. downgrade to evdev 2.1.3 4. auto repeat is working again I recall this happening once before, and I think it was the upgrade to 2.2.x that did it last time as well. Of particular interest is the log of installations of evdev. I recall noticing the problem, attempting to re-merge it, and then downgrading. Then later on it was tried again, and failed, and now it happened one last time. tdanotebook ~ # genlop -l | grep evdev Thu Mar 19 01:47:54 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.0-r1 Fri Apr 17 10:59:37 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.1 Wed Jul 1 03:12:31 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2 Sun Jul 5 07:02:07 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2 Sun Jul 5 07:10:17 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 Sat Jul 18 22:01:22 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 Sun Jul 19 00:14:06 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 Sun Jul 19 00:18:20 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2 Sun Jul 19 00:23:36 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 Sat Aug 8 13:19:42 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 Sat Oct 31 01:34:35 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.5 I have created a package.mask to get around it... >x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 My system works fine now. tdanotebook ~ #

Oh, I am using Xorg tdanotebook ~ # equery list xorg [ Searching for package 'xorg' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [M ] app-doc/xorg-docs-1.4-r1 (0) [I--] [ ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.6 (0) [I--] [ ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 (0) [I--] [ ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1 (0)
As you've mentioned those specific keys, I suspect it's a configuration problem. While bugzilla is NOT a support forum, you can attach your xorg log and post your input setting (real settings, not what you think they are - check your hal settings straight from the deamon and see, if your desktop environment is overriding them).
Hi have the same problem.
I have the same problem and I've solved reverting to =x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 so I really think this is a bug.. otherwise could you explain why this is happening?

Some of you people just don't get it...
...your configuration is broken. Fix it and it will work.
