You should be able to adjust it in X according to this documentation (this is for Mklinux but I would imagine it would be similar). http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/348.html kbdrate doesn't work on any other architecture than x86 really since it relys on /dev/port which is x86 arch dependent. Supposedly kbdrate has been fixed to work on sparc but it's not fixed to work on ppc. As a result line 243 in util-linux.spec should be changed from: %ifnarch s390 s390x to %ifnarch s390 s390x ppc to prevent kbdrate from being built on ppc. I haven't been able to find a solution to make kbdrate work right on ppc yet. Looks like it will take a kernel change. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi
