George, I entered your code in the terminal (with a change in the delay rate more to my tastes) and got this output:

sudo kbdrate -r 15 -d 750
[sudo] password for gumby:
Typematic Rate set to 15.0 cps (delay = 750 ms)

And I can report that the internal keyboard in my laptop now responds correctly, but the external USB keyboard I use most of the time does not. It still displays the old repeating key behavior.

Is there any workaround that works for a USB keyboard attached to a laptop?
