Bug#546700: xserver-xorg-input-kbd: Hotplugged keyboard fails to respect repeat rate/delay
Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.3.2-4
Severity: important
I just dist-upgraded my testing installation yesterday which updated
xorg to the latest level. This got rid of the old keyboard handling code
and switched to evdev.
Along with the change came the old bug I've had in Ubuntu before:
keyboard repeat rate/delay works ok for all keyboards that are plugged
in while starting X, but any hotplugged keyboards default to some
strange repeat rate/delay. I can fix the problem with a manual "xset r
rate..." but that's not how things are supposed to work.
Ubuntu never solved this problem... so I'm reporting it here and hoping
it'll get resolved in Debian. Especially since I really prefer Debian...
Hardware: Lenovo T61p laptop with serveral external keyboards. This
one's a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000, but at home I've got a Logitech
S510 which has the same problem.
