This bug was (for me) fixed upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17500
I applied the patch from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input- evdev/patch/?id=ece72ce9e97adae23b1932dc1334f63669196d56 to the intrepid version of xserver-xorg-input-evdev. After restarting X, keyboard delay and repeat could once again be set using the gnome "Keyboard Preferences". I would also like to comment that neither the "xset" nor the "kbdrate" workarounds had any effect on the repeat rate on my system (a USB keyboard). I think (as others have said) that this bug should have a reasonably high priority: the inability to adjust the keyboard is a serious issue, and the workarounds only work in some cases. (As a side issue: applying this patch to xserver-xorg-input-evdev exposed me to the other bug: Left, Down and End keys not repeating. This I could work around using xset as suggested by Ricardo above.) -- [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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
