Greetings;
for the last 3 or 4 minor revisions, and 3 different kde installs I
have had a situation wherein the keyboard repeat goes down to less
than 1 per second, making it very difficult to go back and fix the
typu's my ancient fingers inevitably make. The effect came and went
at seemingly random times.
I hadn't noticed the effect during the approaches to final, -rc4 in
particular maintained its snappiness from the keyboard very well.
This is not accompanied by an observable amount of cpu usage either.
But its back, sometimes non-stop for several minutes at a time with
-final. I have NDI where to look, so I'll leave that to those that
breath src code in their sleep. In this sense, I'm a dumb beta
tester making a use/feel report.

Does this happen on console, or just in X?
I am currently seeing: fast keyboard repeat immediately after keypress,
for one second. After that, keyboard repeat slows immediately and
dramatically, to a slower but consistent repeat rate.
This doesn't happen in console.

Not so far as I've checked Jeff. I normally run x here and the
console is basicly for emergencies in my mindset.

I'm not seeing that, and its more than occasionally missing a keypress
I know darned well I hit. ATM its not doing it, but then I'm
rebooted to -rc4 due to instability in final. I've canceled an
option I had set in the -finals .config, and a fresh copy is making
now. So we'll be able to go back to testing -final in a short.

I can't say as I've ever noticed it from the first 6 vt's.
