I'm using XFree86 4.0.3 on a Toshiba Tecra 9000 with an S3 SuperSavage IXC graphics 
chip. I have a problem which appears identical to that experienced (and reported here) 
by Teemu Rinta-aho on Wed 2 Jan 2002. 
(http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-january/014414.html).

The problem is that in X I'm getting repeated characters.

For example: "Thiis is a ttesst."

Has anyone else seen this problem or anything like it ?

Does anyone have a clue what apect of the system would be causing it ie. Keyboard 
config in X, Video driver, ... ???

Does anyone have a clue how I might stop it happening ?

I'm using RedHat 7.1
XFree 4.0.3
The problem ONLY occurs in X. ie. it does not occur in the console prior to X being 
loaded.

I have tried changing the character repeat rates in XF86Config-4 but this has no 
affect.

I have disabled key repeating using xset but this still has no impact.

Possible ways forward that I can think of (but I don't know how to test these) are:

1. Check what scan codes the keyboard is send to the keyboard driver

2. Check what the keyboard driver is sending to the next level (in X ?)

3. Check what X is sending to the video driver (savage_drv.o)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wilson
