Gumby, the builtin keyboard on a laptop is hooked up (internally) to the computer the same way as an external PS/2-style keyboard would be. This explains why the workaround (with a "kbdrate" command) fixes your laptop's internal keyboard.

Wolfwitch, when you say that the "kbdrate" workaround works for you "when using any keyboard", are you trying this with both PS/2 and USB keyboards? If this workaround fixes a USB keyboard, I think that's news.

And I'm having a hard time, too, accepting that this bug is too hard to fix quickly.
