Hi, I've put a patched version of xserver-xorg-input-evdev into my ppa using the patch that Ricardo Pérez López linked to. My ppa is here:

It seems to have fixed the problem for me. If this works for others, and there are no side effects, perhaps we could coerce an Ubuntu dev to include the patch in the jaunty release.

Note that if you want to test it, first undo any previous workaround that you may have use before, and then reboot to make sure that the problem comes back. Then install the new package (version 2.1.1-1ubuntu4~ppa1.1) from my ppa and reboot again (or just restart X if you are comfortable doing this). Then play around with the keyboard rate settings and see if they work. Also note any problems that you might have with the new package that you didn't have before.
