(Xorg 6.8.2, 5.4-STABLE/alpha)
Setting the keyboard delay and repeat rate in xorg.conf appears to
be broken. I have this in my xorg.conf:
...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt"
EndSection
...
The other options are picked up, but AutoRepeat isn't. xset q tells
me that the default values (660 25) are in place. However, that
isn't true either. Instead, the delay/repeat settings of syscons
are passed through to the X server.
Using "xset r rate ..." to set the values later works fine.
Xorg.0.log looks suspicious, too:
...
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: Core Keyboard
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
(**) Keyboard0: Protocol: standard
(**) Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: "xfree86"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc104"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "us"
(**) Option "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbOptions: "compose:ralt"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
...
Note that there's a Keyboard0 line after each option, except after
AutoRepeat.
FWIW, X11 on OpenBSD suffers from the same problem (except that the
console settings aren't passed through), so this looks like a general
bug.
