For me (using Fluxbox), the solution is to add the following to the keyboard's InputDevice section in xorg.conf:
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" Turning off AutoAddDevices is not necessary with this change. To summarize some points: * With or without AutoAddDevices, something is resetting the keyboard delay and rate during X startup. This is not desirable. It is a new development. * I can override the values by manually adding the "AutoRepeat" setting to xorg.conf. * When AutoAddDevices is enabled, using "xset r rate..." is ineffective. * When AutoAddDevices is disabled, using "xset r rate..." does work. I am not using Gnome or KDE - I use Fluxbox. I suspect that Gnome will reset the keyboard, so turning of "AutoAddDevices" is a sufficient solution for Gnome users. It is not a complete solution for users of Fluxbox. -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
