Not sure it will convince anybody, just my point of view. I'm using Cygwin/XFree to connect to some HP-UX and AIX boxes, and I can't use xkb because of this CDE/AltGr/whatever problem. (If I use xkb, I don't have access to |, @, etc...) So I launch X via "X -kb" and then load my own .xmodmap. This was working perfectly, but without Win32 autorepeat nor xkb autorepeat, I have no autorepeat at all :-( My suggestion: is it possible to enable Win32 autorepeat only if X is launched with the -kb switch ? Thanks for the very good job you all do, Gael.
