OK, perhaps I wasn't too clear. I was meaning the first hit on googles page & the last. http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2000-Jan/2344.html http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2003-October/068463.html
From the second message

So, in short you can use xset to configure the key repeat rate to your liking.
@ Vatsala - if you type "xset -r" at a console prompt, your key repeat problems should disappear.

that is all very well, but those are pretty common words and gets a zillion results, none of which seem to be that relevant.
it seems to be a specific problem between this hardware and something set up in suse, possibly an x driver.
it did not seem to happen in ubuntu, nor in win XP.
(part of) vatsala's problem is in not reporting back the results of other peoples suggestions, leading to poeple believing he is simply obtusely asking the same question repeatedly.

This is repost of a reply I made earlier in this thread, but got no response form Vatsala.
Hello Vatsala, replying to a thread with matters that are offtopic to that thread is generally poor form.
As to your linux key repeating issue, I suggest that you search google for "linux key repeating", and read some of the answers that are turned up.
Cheers Brad

Hi ya'll... ;)
Yes, it's DEFINITELY a bug in the o/s... It's certainly NOT the hardware (as confirmed herein, below). Bugs are buggy... :$ So, anyone know anyone who can sort this issue out in the SuSE/KDE o/s...? Can't use the o/s fully with these kinds of bugs happening... (it's like the o/s has a constant virus, that a virus killer program won't solve). Bugger! Can't fully use the Linux o/s while this is all going on... (shame). :( All help IS appreciated. Thanks.

Vatsala,
You can rule out a hardware problem by plugging in an external
keyboard to your laptop.
I know someone who has this problem on his laptop with Linux also. Keyboard works fine under windows.
Cheers, Carl.
