I've developed more insite into this problem that may be helpful. kbdrate works but only after X is started.
The keyboard delay is much to short for me yielding frequent repeated characters. I set the keyboard rate in the Conficuration Editor to an extremely long delay which doesn't seem effective. When reseting delay and rate to 1200 and 15 in the Configuration Editor the result as indicated by kbdrate is 250ms 10.9cps which is the same as at boot. Next I edited /etc/init.d/rc.local as follows: #!/bin/sh -e kbdrate -r 15 -d 1200 exit 0 After boot kbdrate shows: Typematic Rate set to 10.9 cps (delay = 250 ms) While running the rate is set properly with: sudo kbdrate -r 15 -d 1200 Typematic Rate set to 15.0 cps (delay = 1000 ms) The only thing that seems to work is settting kbdrate from the desktop. -- [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
