I just re-installed my FreeBSD box from 6.0 to 7.0 and suddenly I can't get my keyboard to repeat when keeping a key pressed, which has always worked immediately on all my previous installs. This is what I have in my xorg.conf (added last line just to try to force repeat) Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyBoard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "se" Option "AutoRepeat" "400 30" EndSection "xset q" tells me the following: Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000 auto repeat delay: 660 repeat rate: 25 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fadfffdfffdfe5ef ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 So, as far as I understand, I should have repetition enabled, but the keyboard isn't responding as expected. It's not a hardware problem as it still works on an older FreeBSD machine. The keyboard in question is a cheap USB keyboard identified as follows in dmesg in case that is any help: ukbd0: on uhub5 Any help appreciated, as I suspect I've done some really basic stupidity, but I can't see it. BR, Chris
