I don't think the OP is using SDL.

Either way, SDL seems to be concistent WRT keyboard repeat, and I 
haven't had any problems with it so far on any platform I've used. 
(Linux/x86, Linux/AMD64, Win32/x86, Mac OS X/PPC.)

Also, SDL actually bypasses the hardware/OS keyboard repeat. What 
SDL_EnableKeyRepeat() activates (keyboard repeat is disabled by 
default) is an internal implementation that is concistent across 
platforms, and gives much more accurate control of the timing. (ms 
resolution, no practical limitations - very different using the 
keyboard MCU repeat logic, that is.)
