H.. you are a genius.. works.
the rates you gave are apparently maximums for intel x86, and you are right that
it must be run as root. My cursor now is back to it's lively old self!

I've noticed that the cursor response is getting sluggish - for instance
when holding down an arrow key in a text document, the cursor used to fly
across the screen, but now it seems to have got elderly and reluctant. Half
it's old speed.
I've tried all the usual things.... wd40, incantations to Ubuntu gods and
kicking the box, but to no avail. Top shows 97% idle most of the time. It
doesn't appear to have anything to do with accessibility option settings.
Any suggestions?
Hi David,
Have you tried resetting the keyboard repeat rate? kbdrate should be
the command you're looking for. Sane settings are (apparently)
`kbdrate -r 30 -d 250`, and I think you need to run it as root (sorry
can't test now).
Cheers,
h
