Check you have a section similar to;

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard1"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "gb"
EndSection

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

That would be my first "educated" guess.. not sure if your mail from the
LUG is turned back on yet, so i'll send this to your email address too..
