keyboard problem

Hi there,

i was having trouble with my keyboard. The problem is that if i have the keyboard depressed, it only performs the action once.
eg. press backspace and hold - only deletes one character.
This is annoying for me
anyone with solutions?

Your Q does'nt really give alot of information, which distro-version do you use, are you using gnome or kde or... theres a long list. Is the problem particular to a particular app? etc etc.

Try running this search in google
repeat time linux
You'll find lot of really good info

mdk 9.0, gnome
problem exists for all apps.
it gets to me cause i try to program using a xterm but keyboard doesn't respond the way i want. this includes all keys (ie. arrow keys, backspace keys etc.)
