Using – xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc8.x86_64 and – xorg-x11-drv-evdev-1.1.2-3.fc7.x86_64 The left arrow key (not the numpad one) does not autorepeat Other arrows autorepeat and it works properly in the console so something is broken in the kernel/xorg evdev glue [with an MS Ergo 4000 keyboard]
Actually, I think this bug is invalid. It's probably an issue with misconfigurated hal. The problem comes from the fact, that /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi (shipped with hal) checks for input.keymap, where it should be either input.keys or input.keyboard.
Oops, sorry, I misread. The above was for evdev 1.2.0 and xorg-server 1.4.0.90.

If this field is wrong, then keyboards wouldn't be hot-plugged and thus evdev would not apply for your keyboard devices. Instead, it would be an issue with the normal keyboard driver.
ping?
Sorry, I'm so deep under the water these days I don't see sunlight anymore. It works now. One of the changes merged in fedora-devel since the report seems to have fixed it xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-evdev-1.99.1-0.5.fc9.x86_64 kernel-2.6.26-0.67.rc6.git1.fc10.x86_64
