It doesn't. I had checked xset, xkbset, xinput, xkbcomp -- all of them either don't have global rate controls or are using core device. > (setxkbmap and xkbcomp have deviceid options) but paging in *how* to disable > autorepeat through an xkb map is beyond my mental capabilities right now. Well, it should be possible to enable toggle of repeat by adding including AccessX(full) compat (sometimes already enabled, often enabled AccessX(basic) ) and assigning RepeatKeys_Enable to some key. But this looks ridiculous -- to press some key when a user just wants to disable repeat. And no, xkbcomp doesn't have direct enabling of repeat or other XKBSetControl, there is no such words in xkb files. Also libxkb- file, which xkbcomp uses for changing server parameters -- it have fields in it's structures for that controls -- but it ex- plicitly skips setting XKBSetControls: srvmisc.c: #ifdef NOTYET if (!XkbSetControls(dpy,XkbAllControlsMask,xkb)) return False; #endif It seems like would be good to add -dev option to xset and xkb- set (for xset -- also for mouse controls) and rate or maybe all XKBSetControls controls to xinput. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
