Re: [SLUG] Autorepeat broken after suspend
I replied of list before, But ill relate my problems now, I remeber a little bit more now. I was using a toshiba laptop last year whilst I was on a contract job. I was running redhat 7.3 and after installing gnome 2 through ximian desktop. I found the described problem. I also installed redhat 8.0 on the machine and still had the problem. I found that I could make it go away by restarting the xserver (this happens when you logout). I also found that some times, whilst messing with the gnome-controlcenter's controls for key repeats I could get it working again (some times) or messing with the setting for key repeat with gconf-editor. I had to give up the laptop untill I figured it out. I dont think I saw the problem whilst using kde on the machine. I would be willing to be its gnome.

[SLUG] Autorepeat broken after suspend
I'm running RH8.0 on an IBM Thinkpad T21. I can suspend the machine with X running, and everything is fine when I resume ... except for the keyboard autorepeat which no longer works, and the mouse becomes prone to take a single click as a double click. Simply exiting X and restarting it makes the problems go away. If I switch to another TTY, autorepeat is working fine - back in X land, it's still not working. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know if/how it can be fixed? Thanks -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

I didn't have the same problem, but I did have other issues with suspending from within X. Couple of things you can try: When you resume, run xset r to try turning autorepeat back on. The xset manpage will probably also tell you how to change the doubleclick timeout. If that doesn't work, try changing to a virtual console before suspending. You can use chvt to do that within a script. You could also use the fgconsole command to grab the current active console and store that somewhere so you know where to change back to when you resume. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Peter, many thanks for the suggestions. On Tue, 2003-02-11 at 23:00, Peter Hardy wrote: Couple of things you can try: When you resume, run xset r to try turning autorepeat back on. The xset manpage will probably also tell you how to change the doubleclick timeout. I can't get this to work :-( If I start X, open an xterm I see that xset r off and xset r on do indeed start and stop autorepeat for all X apps. (nice - I've learned something there). However, if I suspend the machine at this point, and then resume it, I find that autorepeat is off, and xset r on will not restart it :-( If that doesn't work, try changing to a virtual console before suspending. I'm afraid that even this didn't work :-( Thanks again, though -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
