Open a terminal window and type "sudo kbdrate -r 15 -d 1000". You'll be asked for a password, enter your user password. This will yield a delay of 1 sec and repeat at 15 cps. You can choose different values if you wish -- these worked for me. To simplify the entry I created the following two line shell script and placed it in /usr/local/bin/kbfix. The command is now "kbfix."
