Subject: changing repeat rate from X (Re: hmm)

 * Subject: Re: hmm

Can you please come up with a more appropriate subject?

 * > Anyone have any insight on changing the keyboard rate from/for X?

 * The AutoRepeat keyword in XF86Config does the trick.  You can only
 * turn it on/off while X is running (with xset).

Well,

  kbdcontrol -r {slow,normal,fast} < /dev/ttyv0

works for me too.
