I continued Chris's git-bisect (the build errors were pretty easy to fix, much easier than getting X to build at all and getting compiz to run on top of it). The issue manifested itself in a slightly different manner for me - the X server hung instead of auto-repeating, but I assume it's the same problem. Anyway, this seems to be the commit that is causing the trouble:
# bad: [83e76fb3f7a89a237893c2b7df450d4f90eab52d] Save processInputProc before wrapping it and restore it later, instead of using a hardcoded ProcessKeyboardEvent. Otherwise we lose the ability to process DeviceKeyEvents after the first key press. The attached patch reverses this commit on the current hardy X server (there were a few additional occurrences of UNWRAP_PROCESS_INPUT_PROC, but those could be dealt with in a completely analogous way). ** Attachment added: "xorg.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12829851/xorg.diff -- Keys get "stuck" down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
