Hi Mike,

Sure, but I haven't got many init files. I have tried the bog
standard twm, and no particular .xinitrc, just the standard xinitrc
in /etc/X11/xinit.

I have also tried with evilwm, and a .xinitrc I am attaching.
Evilwm doesn't use any other init file. I don't seem to have any
XF86Config or xf86config. I guess it runs on default values.

I am starting X with startx as an ordinary user.

Key repeat works in both the above cases for me. I _think_ my
userland is 3BETA, from a binary snapshot.
