Intrepid: Keyboard repeats keys too fast - Sovled!

Yet another weekend, Yet another fix :).. Well a workaround, actually..

This has been a problem for a while. Ubuntu Intrepid has very annoying too fast key repeat rate. and the gnome-keyboard-properties ignores any setting changed. There were some workarounds proposed like xorg.conf. they dint work on my lappy. I also played around experiments, in vain. Miserably. But very well pointed out by Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto, You can set the repeat settings with kbdrate

just add the following line in /etc/rc.local

#/etc/rc.local
kbdrate -r 25 -d 500

This should solve the quick repeats. If this fixes your issue, Please contribute at the bug in launchpad.
