Keyboard character repeat problem
Mark Sergeant
badly broken keyboards under X. I use a combination of the following two
things to get my onboard keyboard working happily...
#
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard
#
# This should help with the Toshiba internal keyboard
# reppeattt problem in XFree86.
#
# 31.01.2002 Teemu Rinta-aho <te...@rinta-aho.org>
#
Rules = "xfree86"
RepeatDelay = 500
RepeatInterval = 50
DebounceDelay = 10
AccessXTimeout = 0
Controls += BounceKeys
And I also load a simple shell script in my .xsession / .xinitrc which
contains the following...
cat bin/xkbset.sh
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
/usr/X11R6/bin/xkbset bo 40
sleep 60
done
This should help you out a bit. There is talk of a proper patch for X
appearing in X4.3 which would be great but for now this makes things
livable as otherwise the toshiba portege and satellite's are brilliant
machines.
Cheers,
Mark
