It seems more like > the latest 2.4 kernel. This is because it is the same as on the latest 2.4 kernel. 2.6 used software autorepeat up to test6. Now, because of hardware bugs, it was necessary to switch back to hardware autorepeat, like 2.4 uses. > Note, this isnt the speed of the repeat, but > the delay before it kicks in.

This probably has much to do with mouse acceleration settings. What was done was that the mouse report rate was made LOWER (60 compared to 200) to cure problems with some systems that couldn't handle the high report rate. This makes the movement per report larger and thus the acceleration formula in XFree then works more aggressively. > Also, I think that the requirement to enable gameport in > the input section to get access to some alsa sound drivers is > a bug.

That one is for ALSA people. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs, SuSE CR - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
