I'm having the same problems, and I think its X related. I run
kbdrate on boot up, and everything is fine untill I run X. The kbd
suddenly speeds up not just in virtual consoles in X, but also back in
the text console terms as well. I have to run kbdrate now, every time
I turn around.
There is, to me, something suspicious that I haven't noticed before.
The last lines of the text console after starting X now include:
SetKbdSettings - type: 0 rate: 5 delay: 105 snumlk: 0
SetKbdSettings - succeeded
Where is this coming from? Its NOT the AutoRepeat thing in
XF86Config, this is something new thats been added recently.
