Hi;

I applied this patch to 2.6.0-test6, but the delay before
repeat kicks in is slower than previous versions. It seems more like
the latest 2.4 kernel. Note, this isnt the speed of the repeat, but
the delay before it kicks in. Havent tested unpatched test6.
On the other hand, the mouse pointer (ps/2) has been kicked
into overdrive. much faster than test5 and latest 2.4.
Also, I think that the requirement to enable gameport in
the input section to get access to some alsa sound drivers is
a bug. Ive looked at the source to some, and they #ifdef around
gameport support. test5 didnt have this problem for my 1371 driver.
