The left and down arrow keys do not repeat for me either. The same arrow keys on the number pad work fine, however. The problem started with xf86-input-evdev-2.1.99.1. Versions upto xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 work just fine. For the later versions, I've had to add the following commands to my ~/.xinitrc:
xset r 113 # left-arrow key repeats
xset r 116 # down-arrow key repeats also
The particular version of the xorg-server being used does not seem to matter. I'm using 1.6.1. My keyboard is an PS/2 TVS Champ keyboard with 107 keys, model no. KB-1808. The relevant xorg.conf lines on my PC:

In comment #31, Raven Morris suggested using:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
EndSection
to fix the problem. This does not work for me.
