hmm I'm sorry bothering all of you second time with this, but maybe I 
wasn't clear before, and after whole day trying to beat this, I'm still 
stuck with it. What I need to know is, how do you override
"X -ar1 milisecons" setting of xserver (which cause the behavior I was 
writing about). When I start xserver with -ar1 1 argument, delay is not 
noticable. I was studying kasteroids game source (where it works well) 
but I couldn't figure out what exactly changes the behaviour of keyboard 
in processKeyPress(QKeyEvent *event) function. I also tried glut 
library, with same effect. I'm newbie to QT & kde. Any pointer in good 
direction will be great.

thanks, have a nice day

Jan
