Keys used to repeat until I upgraded my OS from SuSE 10.2 to SuSE 11.0. Moreover, keys do repeat if I run the gnome desktop. In the end, I solved the problem by putting xset r on in .bashrc. I appreciate everyone's help on this!

In the end, I solved the problem by putting xset r on in .bashrc. It is possible that the gnome desktop is actively turning on key repetition... I've seen this behavior with Mandrake for the root user. I have little idea on where that was set up, but it seemed to be a security feature set system-wide. I assume you're not running as root, right? You could probably check the system files sourced by .bashrc if any of them is turning repetition off, and then file a bug report to SuSE.. Cheers, Renato

2008/12/5 Theodore D. Sternberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]: OK, xset r on doesn't work before exec /usr/bin/fvwm either. Nor does it work if I put in in InitFunction *or* SessionInitFunction, e.g. AddToFunc InitFunction + I xset r on It won't work like that, c.f.: + I Exec exec xset r on Again, c.f. StartFunction though: AddToFunc I Test (Init) Exec exec xset r on Why it doesn't work for you before starting FVWM, I don't know. -- Thomas Adam

It's always been on by default.
