I think he means this:

Open two terminal windows (or two xterms). In one window, run
xinput test 2   and let it run. In the other, run xev.

If I do this, put the cursor in the xev window and press and hold the
down arrow key for a while, the output from  xinput test 2  is only

key press   133 
key release 133 

(the second line appears when I let go of the key) while in the xev
window I see numerous keypress and keyrelease events for keycode
133. In other words, the xev output shows the key repeating, the
xinput output does not. (Hence I am not sure what useful info the test
will reveal in your case, but I expect Jeremy has a notion.)
