Beyond the Future Shockwave: Convenience or Conviviality?
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

XFree86 compiled and installed as contained in
ports-package for 2.2.1 (just like everything else)

>Description:

Keyboard-repeat-rate (pcvt) is quite slow here. So I'm setting it
faster with kcon from /etc/rc.local.
When the X-Server starts up, repeat-rate is reset to original value -
efficient both within X and on the virtual tty's.

This wasn't the case with FreeBSD-2.1.0 - there the keyrepeat-rate within
X did follow the kcon setting and wasn't reset. 
(People told me the keyrepeat-rate for X should be separately configured
via XF86Config. This does not work, anyway.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:

Use xdm. Reconfigure kcon from xdm/Xsetup, after X server startup.
