James Legg, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

Since the motion of the cursor is slower in this state, it is possibly dropping movement events. The system returns to normal when I let go of the keys. I ran a couple of tests with X11perf and it doesn't seem to slow down X in general, just the mouse motion. My laptop is an iBook G4, which has a powerpc architecture. After turning off keyboard repeats the problem still remains (even though xev doesn't report any keyboard events, the mouse movement is still sluggish until I let go of the key). This is the keyboard section of my xorg.conf file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection The keyboard is the the iBook G4 keyboard, UK version. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9, xserver-xorg-input-kbd version 1:1.2.2-3ubuntu1, and xserver-xorg-input-mouse version 1:1.2.3-2.
