Sun keyboard repeat rate mystery solved

1998-07-25 Thread Anders Hammarquist 
As promised, I've looked in to the keyboard repeat rate problem, and I've 
actually figured it out. It's quite simple really...

kbdrate as shipped in util-linux talks to a PC keyboard to set its repeat rate 
(which, obviously, does not work for a Sun keyboard).

Xsun doesn't grok xset r

Xsun does grok (and sets the repeat rate when started with) -ar1 (delay) and 
-ar2 (repeat) options.

I've hacked up a quick sunkbdrate program which gets/sets the repeat rate from 
the console (X will use this rate as well unless you use -ar1/2. -ar1/2 will 
not affect the console).

You can fetch source and binary from ftp.netg.se:/pub/Linux/sparc/ sunkbdrate 
and sunkbdrate.c

Regards,
/Anders
