>I thought I would give a xset a try but I don't understand the syntax. I think it is clear enough in the man page. The xset manpage has two paragraphs for the "r" option. The second paragraph says
If the server supports the XFree86-Misc extension, or the XKB extension, then a parameter of ’rate’ is accepted and should be followed by zero, one or two numeric values. The first specifies the delay before autorepeat starts and the second specifies the repeat rate. In the case that the server supports the XKB extension, the delay is the number of milliseconds before autorepeat starts, and the rate is the number of repeats per second. If the rate or delay is not given, it will be set to the default value. So if you want a reasonable delay of 500ms a a repeat rate of 25 characters per second, you would type xset r rate 500 25 Typing xset q (which shows the parameters in effect) then reflects the change. I does *not*, however, make an actual difference in keyboard behavior (which is probably due to this very bug). My workaround for this problem is adding the line kbdrate -r 25 -d 500 to the file /etc/rc.local This fixed the problem for me, with no visible side effects so far. -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust, when AutoAddDevices is on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
