I had this problem when I moved from Mandrake 9 to FC3. Also had the
problem where a keypress on the remote will cause it to repeat until I
hit a key on the actual keyboard.  I can't tell you how I've fixed it,
but I have.   I usually hit too many buttons at once to tell you which
one did the trick.

Try playing around in the KDE control center with the keyboard repeat
settings.  I think the "restore defaults" button is the key.  Try
that, then apply, and maybe a reboot.  If that doesn't work, just keep
trying different things.  After about an hour, you'll get it to work
and not know why -- it always does for me. :)

Good luck.
