Slow keyboard response, Compaq Pressario 1230

[Hermans, Hein]

Hi there,

Last week I installed FreeBSD 4.5 (though I noticed the same problem on 4.3
and 5.1) on a Presario 1230 laptop.

During installation and afterwards I noticed a slow keyboard response on the
console. Scrolling of long output (cat big_file.txt) works perfect or
comparable to a Linux installation. Only while typing (no system load) I
notice a minimal time lap between pressing the key and the showing up of the
character on the screen. The effect is the same as when remotely logged into
a slow machine or via a slow / busy connection.

Unfortunately the problem isn't related to the key repeat rate (thanks
anyway Nathan) so a 

$ kbdcontrol -r normal/fast/slow

doesn't fix the problem.

I realy need some help here so any input is appreciated

Kind regards,

Hein
