Package: xserver-xorg-input-all
Version: 1:7.3+18
Severity: important

Hi, flagging this as important because it's an RSI issue for anyone
using X for any duration.

After upgrading from Etch to Lenny, I found 2 input problems.

1. My mouse pointer is very, very slow. I use GNOME and tried modifying 
the preferences in System / Preferences / Mouse but they seemed to have 
no effect.

After some digging, I found running 

xset m 2 2

restores the behaviour to what I think it was (fluid mouse movement 
rather than the treacly behaviour I had). Can this be the default 
behaviour? Is there a reason the GNOME settings don't apply? 

2. On a related note, I noticed that the keyboard wasn't repeating, 
particularly the arrow keys (I didn't realise how much I rely on this
behaviour until it was gone). Again, I tried modifying the GNOME 
settings but this seemed to give excessive repeating behaviour. After 
some digging, I found the following did just what I needed

xset r

Again, can this be the default?
