Something is definitely screwy with the latest -bk.  I updated from a 
kernel ~1 week ago, and all timer-related stuff is moving at a vastly 
increased rate.  My guess is twice as fast.  Most annoying is the system 
clock advances at twice normal rate, and keyboard repeat is so sensitive 
I am spending quite a bit of time typing this message, what with having 
to delettte (<== example) extra characters.  Double-clicking is also 
broken :(

dmesg and config attached.

My guess would be someone broke HPET, but maybe not judging from other 
lkml reports.

This is the _first_ 2.6 kernel that has been obviously and wildly broken 
for me :(

	Jeff

Why?  XFree86 has been doing its own autorepeat, I think.

        $ xset q
        Keyboard Control:
          auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000000
          auto repeat delay:  660    repeat rate:  25
          auto repeating keys:  00ffffffdffffbbf
                                fa9fffffffdfe5ff
                                ffffffffffffffff
                                ffffffffffffffff
          bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100

And I  can change it via "xset  r rate [delay [rate  ]]", according to
"xset help".  Indeed,  you can use 'xset' to  change the rate/delay to
very  extreme values,  which  exceed the  hardware  allowed on  AT/PS2
keyboards (e.g. rates > 30  cps), adjusted with the 'kbdrate' command.
So, the only  possibility for these hardware limits  to be transcended
is s/w based autorepeat.
