[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat solution

I had this problem in Xubuntu 6.06 LTS (XFCE) on an old AMD K6-2/500
with SiS 530/5595 chipset. Very difficult to login at the login window.

XFCE > Settings > Keyboard Settings > Settings > Typing Settings  did
not help - if anything worse.

The xkbset solution had no effect.

I didn't try the accessx solution, but I found 
a simple solution that does work:-

Add the kernel parameter 'clock=tsc' in GRUB (ie: to the 'kernel' line
of the top kernel entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst).
