You can also edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 under the section "Input Devices => Keyboard Section". For example you could change Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" to Option "AutoRepeat" "200 50" The first number is the delay time in milliseconds before a key starts repeating and the second number is the rate which specifies the number of times a key repeats per second. See man keyboard for further information. Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today
