key repeat problem

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks

I've got a dual boot PC at home with Win-XP and Fedora 18. (I did also have 
the problem when it used to run Fedora 10).

When in WinXP everything works perfectly. However when in Fedora the key 
repeat doesn't work properly.  Occassionally while typing I will get 2 or 3 
of the same character which is rather annoying. What is even more annoying is 
that when I use the backspace key to fix the problem it will sometimes delete 
10 - 20 characters instead of 1-2.

The keyboard is a Microsoft badged multi-media keyboard but as I didn't have 
to install any drivers in WinXP I think it's just the same as any other 
multi-media keyboard.

Anyone got any ideas how I can fix it?
