I use a combination of the following two things to get my onboard keyboard working happily... # # /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard # # This should help with the Toshiba internal keyboard # reppeattt problem in XFree86. # # 31.01.2002 Teemu Rinta-aho # Rules = "xfree86" RepeatDelay = 500 RepeatInterval = 50 DebounceDelay = 10 AccessXTimeout = 0 Controls += BounceKeys And I also load a simple shell script in my .xsession / .xinitrc which contains the following... cat bin/xkbset.sh #!/bin/sh while true do /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbset bo 40 sleep 60 done This should help you out a bit. There is talk of a proper patch for X appearing in X4.3 which would be great but for now this makes things livable as otherwise the toshiba portege and satellite's are brilliant machines.
