Dear all,
I have been trying to change the KB autorepeat
to a very slow rate, but does not work.
To wit:

$ xset r 2 500
xset:  unknown option 500

usage: .....etc.....

So, the man page says the options for rate setting are:
[-r [keycode]]  [r [keycode]] [r {on|off}] [r rate delay [rate]]

The first 'rate' in '[r rate delay [rate]]' is a keyword, not a
parameter.  Do this:

   xset r rate 2 500

Mike.

Hi Mike.
I tried it, and it fails.
What's with the Xlib extension error?


$ xset r rate 2 500
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0".
xset:  unknown option 500
