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
usage: xset [-display host:dpy] option ...
