If I quit Xfree86 with ctrl-alt-backspace and then start it with startx, autorepeat doesn't work... It could be a known bug, but I'm not too sure...

Maybe check the setting with xset?
Is it any different if you boot without X, then manually startx? Or use the menu > exit?

xset -q tells it is off (after doing that)
I noticed it also happens after playing some sdl games, maybe they turn it off?

Here's the part of XF86Config-4:
Identifier "keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "AutoRepeat" "400 30"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fi"

It's ok though to set it on manually, not too much trouble..

What happens if you take out the option "autorepeat"?
