Looks like the evdev driver doesn't support it, not yet anyway. |

I filed under gnome, but a person there thinks its an xorg bug in ubuntu: http://bugzilla.gnome.org show_bug.cgi?id=550242 It has become quite clear that this is a problem with the xorg-evdev driver, and intrepids new hotplug architecture.
Here is a workaround for this, which is to disable the AutoAddDevices server flag.
In xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
This workaround disables the evdev driver (your keyboard and mouse driver). This is know to cause problems like disabling multimedia keys. |

Here is a workaround for this:
Temporarily add the following to your xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
Restart X, and you will be able to change the settings. Once changed, you can remove those lines from your xorg.conf (which is recommended since setting AutoAddDevices to off can interfere with your keyboard) |

I don't know why this was set to bug #17500, an old bug. #17925 makes more sense.
Anyway, I'm testing on jaunty, and the bug persists. I'm curious, is this happening to anyone that has a simple keyboard, without special keys? I know that my usb keyboard shows up as two keyboards under lsusb. I'm not sure where laptop keyboards show up. But, I'm thinking that since these keyboards show up as two at the kernel level, maybe thats confusing Xorg somehow.
Is there anyone here using a simple keyboard that also has this issue? thus proving my theory wrong? |

Welcome. This bug was introduced with the new Xorg in the 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release of Ubuntu. It had 2 effects: the default keyboard repeat rate was unusably high, and there was no obvious way to change the repeat rate. There were a few hacks which could effect at least partial fixes, the discussion of which you will find below.
The bug has been fixed upstream, and, in theory, will be included in the 9.10 (Karma Koala) release of Ubuntu. The fix has also been backported to the 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release of Ubuntu. It does not seem like the fix will be backported to 8.10 (Intrepid).
Thus, those affected by this bug should install 9.04.
Q.E.D.
(If there are any continued difficulties, please file a new bug report.)
