[arch-general] Bring back the old X11 values

In the latest Xorg updates, there is a major change in the default of mouse mouvment and key repeating speed. How can I change these back? I am really used to the old ones and the new ones just slow down my workflow. pgpOZmL88XnDj.pgp Description: PGP signature
