I've recently started using Ubuntu and Beryl on a laptop I got. I haven't had any problems until last night when holding keys stopped working. What I mean by this is that if I press and then hold the left arrow key the cursor will only move to the left once. It's like that annoying sticky keys thing in Windows, but I have no idea how to fix it. If anyone know what I can do to fix this it would be very much appreciated.

[Edit]
Lol I just fixed it. I got this crazy idea to go and look at the keyboard settings. The first thing there was key presses repeated. It was already checked to I unchecked and then rechecked the box and it worked. Sorry for wasting server space . Please lock.

Okay, the next person who bumps a thread to say "I posted before this was locked" gets a week long noob slap. It's annoying to say the least.
