Hi,
After upgrading to XFree86 4.3.0, my keyboard autorepeat rate has changed. It
is too slow and I would like to return it to its original default setting
(delay 500ms, repeat 30ms). I made no changes to XF86Config, although I never
entered any keyboard autorepeat values in there anyway (I just used the
default). So I assume it's the default settings that have changed.
I tried adding the line
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
to the keyboard device section of XF86Config, but the rate apparently hasn't
changed. XF86Config.0.log shows that the server reads the new option from the
config file, but the autorepeat rate is still the same (too slow).
So I tried changing it using xset. But that doesn't work either. When I run
"xset r 30", it makes no difference to the rate. So I studied the help for
"xset" a bit and tried using the other syntax, "xset r delay rate". So I did
"xset r 500 30", and it gave me this error message, followed by the usage
message:
xset: unknown option 500
This really confuses me. Not only does xset not set my keyboard repeat rate,
but it also doesn't understand the option syntax as shown in its own usage
message.
There are no suspicious messages in XF86Config.0.log, other than the line
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard0" handled by legacy driver
but from what I understand, this message is normal.
Anyone else have trouble setting the repeat rate in 4.3.0?
Thanks,
Paul Hoepfner-Homme
