Well, after several days of messing around with this alternative solution, I've not experience a single error, loss in hardware key function, no stylus weirdness and certainly no need for a reboot.

Joy!

Okay, simple request. Anyone will do. You can be an ugly dipturd for all I care.

Download the source file for this.
Xkbd 0.8.15m

Remove the .deb extension.

Open up the file kb.c in the src folder.

About 200 lines down change this line from
kb->key_delay_repeat = 10;
to
kb->key_delay_repeat = 45;

Then recompile and post the .deb

This will stop the keys being pressed from unnecessarily repeating like they do.

This would be huge for me if someone could get it done.

Here's to hoping.
