Hi, I tried again. I am starting to doubt that xset works properly!
I did: $ export DISPLAY=:1 $ sudo X :1 -noreset & $ xeyes & $ xterm & I can then confirm that xset has no effect on the running X: $ xset r rate 50 150 No difference in the repeat rate. However, if you run the command on the terminal within :1, it will work (as expected). It really looks like xset will only work if run within the server itself... but why? Should I report this as a bug? (it's really easy to reproduce) Bye, Merc.
