I raised an issue under the hardware section for the same problem.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and it's been ok since late last year when I loaded it into my PC.
On or about 6th February, the keyboard started to hesitate and the keys repeat. There is a long delay between typing the characters and their appearance on the screen. There is also a problem with random repeating characters. I've stopped the repeats by un-checking the repeat box in the keyboard set up.
This problem doesn't happen in Window or when running Mandriva One from a CD.
I have tried four different keyboards and they all exhibit the same problem

If anybody can suggest any tests I can run to assist with resolution of this issue, I'll gladly help.
