I'm having an "odd" problem with SuSE 8.1; kde 3.0.x; [pretty much a "default" installation] -- my keyboard "repeat rate" is slowing down [and eventually stops] if I keep my system "up" for several days -- is there any known cause for this? I set my keyboard parms to be the shortest delay before repeating, and the fastest repeat rate [30cps, which isn't fast enough for my tastes, but that's beside the point] However, after the system has been "up" for more than a day, the "repeat rate" appears to have slowed [mostly noted on the "backspace" key and/or arrows] After a few days, I'll notice that the repeat rate has stopped entirely. Note that by "up" I also mean "logged in" -- I live alone, so I leave my session running 24x7 -- I generally don't have to worry about people coming in and using my system "as me". Could it be the keyboard itself? [this is the one with the "word-for-dos" or "word for windows v2.0" keyboard template glued to it, so it's one with "feel" rather than a cheesy new one from dell/h-paq/gateway/you-name-it...] As I write this, however, I'm finding it seems to be the arrow keys more so than regular keys -- here I've held the 'x' key for 5 seconds: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but holding down an arrow key for 5 seconds only goes this far xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx this is rather annoying [and very tiring to the fingers -- as if carpul tunnel wasn't bad enough...]
