No xset 'r' args appear to work. 'xset q' shows that the server is correctly registering 'xset r off' and it's definitely ignored. I think it's fine that XWin currently ignores this stuff since it's (without looking at the source) probably doing the right thing by talking directly to the Windows keyboard driver at the application level. Either way, I don't actually want 'xset r off', I really want something like: $ cat ~/.xserverrc : exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X -ar1 500 :0 ...which doesn't seem to work either. > I had asked for some help from our guru, Alan Hourihane, but I don't > remember if he had any insight to offer me. In a previous life I wrote X server support many ISA, VESA and PCI graphics adapters. I remember the keyboard-and-mouse-input guy in our group being a weary "glass is half empty" type person when struggling with these devices and everything that an X server is expected to do with them.
