Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 2, 64bit with kernel 2.6.32-12-generic.
I just noticed that if I press a key, it is not repeated anymore. This behavior is noticed in a terminal: it is impossible to go fast to a certain position.
If I go to Keyboard Preferences (Preferences > Keyboard), the setting "Key presses repeat when key is held down" is not ticked. However, if I tick it, holding a key results in only two key strokes. It looks like this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/127620, but as that one is rather old and one advises to fill in a new bug report, here it is.
