Subject: apm sus/resume mucks up kbdrate?

When booted from cold the keyboard repeat rate of my machine is
acceptable. A bit disappointing that for Intel based PCs the delay
between repeats can't be less than 250 ms. but at a repeat rate of 30.0
cps it's fairly fast.
After doing an apm suspend, by either closing the laptop screen or
typing 'apm -s', and then a resume, the keyboard
repeat rate becomes ridiculously slow, probably less than 10 cps. Why is
this? I have a work around which is to reset the repeat rate after a
resume with:
kbdrate -r 30
and I am figuring out how to get the apm daemon to invoke this
automatically, but is there any way to prevent this happening. Is this a
known problem which has been sorted out in newer versions of the kernel
or apm driver?
My distribution is RH6.0 Intel, which is a 2.2.5-15 kernel.
My apm version is 3.0beta4.
My machine is a Dell Inspiron 7500
Thanks.
