Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:1.1.2-6
Severity: normal

Following keys are not repeated when they are held down:
1) End
2) Left arrow
3) Down arrow

All other keys were checked with xev and they are repeated (except locks and modifiers).

Also everything works fine when kbd drivers is used instread of evdev.

Not sure, but when I used to use Debian for i386 (as opposed to amd64 for now), it
seems to me that this bug didn't occured. May be architecture is also involved.

Additional information: I use Microsoft Natural 4000 USB keyboard.

The evdev driver doesn't let you change that option any more.  Thanks
for your report!
