Alan,

Thanks for the pointer. Since Paulo has a newer version, I'll just try his.

I'm no using evdev, and no problem with autorepeat. Your patch works
great as it is.

At least I can now use the latest xserver without having to revert
part of the code to make it work with older xf86-input-keyboard as
what I did before. Nice.

Would be nice to see this fix submitted for xf86-input-keyboard and
perhaps xf86-input-void as well.

Thanks for the fix.

Jeff.
