    Keyboard delay

    Hello everyone my keyboard was working fine then all of a sudden it started acting up. Now when I boot into linux the keyboard works fine till I start the Xsever. At first I thought that the keyboard stopped working so I restarted it and still had the same problem. I ended up restarting it 8 times then I finally got pissed off and started to hit the keyboard now when I was done hitting it I kinda kept my hand on it and noticed it still types but I have to hold it for a long period of time for it to start typing. I have to hold the button for like 1-2 Sec for it to type one letter. Then i checked the keyboard setting and they where fine so any suggestions would be great.

    Please Please get back to me on this I really don't want to reinstall it.

    It sounds like slow keys is turned on.

    Have a look at System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Accessibility

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
