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.How is it going with the X stack from squeeze/sid, or from experimental?
Actually, since I really hated that behavior (as I plug in external keyboards all the time) I fixed it by going back to manual configuration:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fi"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
All I had to do was plug that into my xorg.conf and it all started
working again. I also have a manually configured mouse block in there to
fix the same bug for mice. As in all hotplugged mice get default
configuration values and not the ones I've configured.
Right now I don't have any extra keyboards here (wife broke the last one a few days ago) but if you want me to try the current situation I could try it out tomorrow at work.
As of right now I'm running xorg 1:7.5+8 but I can try out any available repo version (this laptop is running frankendebian anyway :-).
