I have verified this on two machines, but it would be helpful if others out there can reproduce it too. Also, I do not know if it is Xorg or the FreeBSD keyboard drivers, since I see no way to reproduce on the console (i.e. turn off repeat). In an xterm, type: "xset r off". Then try some multiple-key combinations (i.e. keep holding first key(s) when you type the next one): po (o does not appear) lk (k does not appear) grep (e does not appear) When you release the keys, the press events will show up. Keyboards in general have limited multiple-key (rollover) capabilities, but using "xset r off" reduces these to the point that you will often mistype things, and it seems unique to FreeBSD. I am using 7.0-RC2 at the moment. Thanks, Joe
