Comment 116 for bug 264196

Not fixed yet! I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 amd 64 Desktop and I've still got the problem unfortunately. Saw the reference to xserver-xorg-input-evdev - 1:2.1.1-1ubuntu4 , but I cannot get it through either enabling Ubuntu backports or proposed repositories either since its not available through the other standard repos. I had success for about a week to a week and a half using the rc.local fix. But Ubuntu took this away from me (in updates I think). I've also tried the xorg.conf server flags workaround, but it was shortlived. Semi-worked but then gave up the ghost. Now I'm back to square one with no control over my keyboard repeat rate.
