i am using a logitech cordless desktop pro keyboard along with "emerge gnome".. i am having troubles with my keys not repeatign when they are held down. When i hold down one key for aslong as i wish, it will still not repeat. This problem ONLY OCCURS when a GNOME applicating has run/ran. When my computer initially starts up there is no problem, yet once a gnome related application is run eg. "gnome-font-properties", then the problem exists and will not go away until i restart. please help.. here is my /etc/X11/XF86Config.. Section "Module" # This loads the DBE extension module.
