What did work, though, is that I added: xset r rate 500 20 in my .xinitrc So I suspect that there's some bug in this version of Xorg w.r.t. AutoRepeat and this keyboard type (since it has worked immediately on older Xorg versions), but the above seems to be a good-enough workaround for me. /Chris --- alt127 wrote: > hi, > > maybe you should give kbdcontrol a try > > you could also pass the values in /etc/rc.conf as > > keyrate=delay.repeat > > Chris wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > this is probably a silly question, but I can't > find > > what I'm doing wrong, so I need help. > > 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.
