Well, that's not a perfect fix and we do lose the ability of detecting typematic rate (by default), so technically it's a workaround (sufficient to make the kernel boot and work, though) and doesn't fix anything. I have committed it anyway since we do not have better fix (yet), and have updated atkbd(4) manual page so one can enable it again when wanted. The problem we had was that it seems that running the BIOS in the x86emu emulator on amd64 would cause problem. This doesn't seem to be fixable without hands-on experiments on a system in question, it's either a BIOS bug or an emulator bug. The strange part of the problem is that the functionality is quite common in the Good Old Days (TM). Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij@delphij.net> http://www.delphij.net
