Same problem for me on a Dell Latitude E6510 with Ubuntu 11.10 with VMware Workstation 7.1.5 installed. As a temporary solution I have created a very basic shell script to reset the repeat" (equivalent to going to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Untick and tick "Key presses repeat when key is held down"). Every time repeat stops working I execute the script.
Script: #!/usr/bin/env bash xset r off xset r on echo "Reset of keyboard repeat done!" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891295 Title: Key repeat is disabled intermittently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/891295/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
