I'd say it's a workaround, and the bug is still there. Unless the behavior I experienced is intended, and clearly explained (along with the workaround) in the documentation, I'd say it's a bug. -- Andy Young -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#181423: Info received (Bug#181423: xserver-xfree86: [core server] should not change keyboard repeat settings on non-X VCs)
Checking the behavior on the second Debian box shows that: 1. The keyboard rate is reset to the Debian default every time I bring up X. Then to get the VC keyboard rate I want, I have to run the kbdrate command again (as root). 2. If I reset the rate after bringing up X, the rate stays where I set it, even when I log in on a new VC. Apparently, there's something in the startup of X that resets the keyboard delay and rate. Please keep this bug alive. -- A. T.

Bug#181423: xserver-xfree86: [core server] should not change keyboard repeat settings on non-X VCs
> About 4 years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding the > keyboard repeat settings non changing on non-X VCs. Did you reproduce > this problem recently? If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks. Currently, it seems that if I use X and then log in to a VC, the Debian default rate is on. But I can set the rate and delay via /sbin/kbdrate, and go back to X and then return to the VC with my (modified) preferred rate still OK. However, I have to become root to run /sbin/kbdrate; otherwise I get an "Operation not permitted" error. I've put /sbin/kbdrate in root's .bash_profile, so that if I log in as root before logging in as myself on a different VC, the rates will be OK. If I log in to a VC and set the rate I like before bringing up X, when I return to the VC the rates are OK. I'll check on my other Debian box later today and make sure it behaves the same way. -- Andy Young -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
