incorrect keyboard response

[edscott wilson garcia]

I am installing FreeBSD on a new laptop but have problems with the
keyboard within X. 

Symptoms: if the pause between stroking key1 and key2 is short, key1 is
repeated.  

When: FreeBSD 5.1, always. FreeBSD 4.8, only when  the XKEYBOARD
extension is enabled. 

I've tried modifying the key repeat rate, both in X and on console, to
no avail. 

The problem is not present in Linux or in older laptops.

Laptop configuration: Toshiba P4 at 2.26GHz, 533MHz system bus,
nvidia-geoforce4-32MB.

TIA

Edscott

Option  "XkbDisable" is not set.
