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
The 'r' argument section of the 'xset' man page I have here says:
If the server supports the XFree86-Misc extension, or the XKB extension,
then a parameter of 'rate' is accepted and should be followed by zero,
one or two numeric values. The first specifies the delay before
autorepeat starts and the second specifies the repeat rate. In the
case that the server supports the XKB extension, the delay is the
number of milliseconds before autorepeat starts, and the rate is the
number of repeats per second.
Based on the error message, presumably your X server doesn't provide the
required extensions, so the 'xset r rate ...' command will fail when run
against this server. (I'm not certain, but I think xset's willingness
to use the XKB extension is a recent addition. If your 'xset' is old
then it might not know how to work with XKB and might depend entirely
on XFree86-Misc.)
Recent versions of Xorg have dropped XFree86-Misc.
Unfortunately, xset versions before last year's 1.1 release had a bug in which
they checked for it incorrectly and reported the missing extension, even when it
wasn't present or going to be used (since XKB is preferred if available - and
since recent versions of Xorg are impossible to compile without XKB, it should
always be available).
If it actually fails to work, it should print instead:
server does not have extension for "r rate" option
If you don't get that, then either XKB or XFree86-Misc should have accepted the
change.
As for the "unknown option 500", it appears that xset requires the second
argument to be<= 255, and if it's not ignores it, letting the rest of the
option parser choke on it. (Sorry, the xset option design is absolutely
horrid, and some day we need to create a new command with a standard CLI to
replace it.)
Guys - this is not helping me any.
I DO need to do something about this.
So far, best thing for me is xset r off.
I just added the xfree86 option to the keyboard section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection
I will log out and log back in to see if it helps.
I am at xorg version 7.4.4, which is the latest for Fedora 12.
These all the xorg packages currently installed.
Am I missing anything?
