I'm seeing a problem on my laptop with FreeBSD 7.0-RC1 and xorg 7.3 -
but the problem's been around for a few months.  When I keep a key held
down it'll repeat at most around 10 times before stopping.  Often it
won't even repeat at all, and I have to keep pressing the key again each
time, which is quite annoying.

My keyboard settings in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier  "Keyboard1"
     Driver      "kbd"
     Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
     Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
     Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
     Option "XkbLayout"  "gb"
EndSection


I've checked it's not a problem with the keyboard by switching back to 
the text console; the keys repeat properly there.  Has anyone else come 
across this issue?
