We have an 825SRX which exhibits the following annoying problem.
Perhaps someone can help me fix it.

After booting the system, the cursor keys of the system console (a 98721
device) act as expected.  If I hold down a key, then the cursor moves in
the correct direction, ad infinitum.  However, after entering and
leaving X-windows, holding down a cursor key results in the cursor
moving in the correct direction five times, and then it starts to head
left, ad infinitum.

Has anyone out there discovered the same problem, or is it a glitch in
our hardware?
