Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 2, 64bit with kernel 2.6.32-12-generic.
I just noticed that if I press a key, it is not repeated anymore. This behavior is noticed in a terminal: it is impossible to go fast to a certain position.
If I go to Keyboard Preferences (Preferences > Keyboard), the setting "Key presses repeat when key is held down" is not ticked. However, if I tick it, holding a key results in only two key strokes. It looks like this bug report: https:/

If it's xserver- xorg-video- ati, then it is probably not the package from Ubuntu: I'm running the xorg-edgers ppa (https:/ /launchpad. net/~xorg- edgers/ +archive/ ppa):
