The keyboard suffers from atrocious key bounce, as you will probably have noticed by the time you get this far. ;)
Method 1
Use "AccessX" to define the bounce delay:
1. Obtain the tarball and follow the installation instructions given at:

2. Add the following lines to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession after the section where it runs all the system xinitrc shell scripts:
# inserted to prevent key bounce
ax +bouncekeysax -timeoutax bouncedelay 5# end inserted lines
(This is for RedHat 8.0: other distros may be different, but essentially you need to find a file from which scripts are run every time the X-server starts up).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2
In file /etc/X11/XF86Config, set the Xkbdisable function as follows:
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
Option "XkbDisable"
This works more reliably than Method 1, but you will lose some keyboard functionality, specifically anything invoked by the AltGr key.
