Summary: Keyboard repeat events not generated under Linux
Initial Comment:
ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_REPEAT is never generated for me under Linux when a key is pressed and held down. In ex_keyboard_events just shows alternating pressed/release events.
This is on Ubuntu 9.04. My x.org version is 7.4.
Looking online seems to suggest that this is because of a bug in XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat, which makes it not work. Irrlicht (an OSS 3D engine) had an issue with this too and fixed it using the patch in this thread: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2795321&group_id=74339&atid=540676
So, can anyone reproduce this bug? If so, any qualms about implementing a workabout similar to the one I linked to?
