Hi. I'm using Ubuntu linux on a Dell Latitude D620 Laptop. Ever since I installed Ubuntu, keyboard auto repeat has been switched off in X by default. Every time I run "xset q" after boot I get
Code:
auto repeat: off key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000
auto repeat delay: 500 repeat rate: 30
auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf
fadfffdfffdfe5ef
ffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffff
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100

I can fix it easily enough by typing "xset r", but having to do this every time on boot is a pain. And if that's not a pain enough, x has an annoying habit of 'mysteriously' switching autorepeat off after what seems a random period of time
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks in advance
