Yeah, I've seen it and it's a real pain. It doesn't matter if one is local or remote, if you type fast enough, it happens locally as well. I seem to remember there may be a repeat rate that needs to be set but my workaround is to not use the graphical client. It doesn't matter if one uses VNC or RDP or whatever. It happens locally if one types fast enough. Remotely, (ssh into host then exporting X over a fast ssh connection) it has made installing an ubuntu guest on a freebsd host impossible. Exporting an xterm over the same connection and keyboard repeat is normal. The effect from what I've read is not unique to freebsd hosts. -- John
