Bug 262066 – x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.0 breaks keyboard auto-repeat when used with xorg-server-1.5.3

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261947
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jens Rutschmann 2009-03-11 00:04:04 UTC]

As posted on the xorg mailing list evdev 2.2.0 breaks keyboard auto repeat when used with xorg-server 1.5.3.

See this thread in the list archive for further details:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-March/044324.html

I could reproduce it on my machine with xorg-server 1.5.3. More specifically, on my system auto repeat was only broken for a few keys (left- and down-arrow keys).

Reverting evdev back to version 2.1.3 restored proper keyboard auto repeat.
