For example, doing an ls becomes:
$ lllllllllllllllllllllllllssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
That sounds like it's working then. So instead of asking for a 2ms
pause before the autorepeat begins and 255 repeats per second
(which is what you're doing now), play with the numbers to get
closer to the behaviour you really want.
You said you wanted a slow repeat, right? Try 'xset r rate 1000 4',
which should wait one second (1000ms) before beginning to repeat and
should then repeat at a rate of 4 events per second.
Mike.
Thank you Mike,
That did it. But the server still says:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0".
So why would the man page say the rate comes before the delay in the
args list?
What a &*...@#$@%#&$ man page!!!
Even --help specifies the args backwards.
