E521 Keyboard key problem

[Michael Hansen]

Does this happen in X only?  Text console?  Both?

There was a key repeating problem with XFree86-4.3.0, if I recall correctly,
that was fixed a while back (4.3.0, I believe, shipped with RHEL 4.4).
Check your version and upgrade if necessary, if this is the case.

Sorry I can't help more, I don't follow the RH bug list too closely, and my
memory isn't what it used to be.  :P


Thanks,
Mike
