Checking some other rates to "xset r rate x y", I found that after xset r 200 1000 the behavior changes slightly: after holding the key for a bit (might be 200 ms), it produces 4 more characters, then stops. Apparently keyboard repeat does work, but is almost instantly turned off. It can't be an application acting up; this happens even if Xorg is run as Xorg (without any clients running) and any application (tried konsole, xterm, qtconfig) is running to input stuff into. I have this issue too, very annoying. verified, happens with the keyboard driver only, not evdev. Events get posted by the driver but disappear somewhere inside XKB. Created attachment 29494 [details] [review] 0001-xkb-drop-key-presses-for-already-repeating-keys.-238.patch xkb: drop key presses for already repeating keys. (#23889) The event sequence for continuously pressed keys with the keyboard driver is PRESS - PRESS - PRESS - ... - RELEASE. The first press sets the repeatKey to the keycode and the matching timer. The second press (on the same keycode) can be silently dropped instead of overwriting the timer again. Pushed as 4650e6ebe6e3ea48a026ace60b25daa165580467. Thanks for reporting. |

After updating to xorg-server 1.6.99.900, keyboard auto repeat stopped working. xset r on xset r rate 300 50 don't produce any error messages (or output on the console even with Xorg -verbose 9), but don't enable keyboard repeat either. Versions of related packages: xorg-server 1.6.99.900 libXi 1.2.99.4 xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.99.1 xset 1.0.4 Devices are configured manually without hal, the keyboard config is Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "ch" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbVariant" "de_nodeadkeys" EndSection
