Strange... The mask shown for the auto repeating keys is all 0s. Here is
what this looks like on my system:
callisto:bstark$ xset q | head -7
Keyboard Control:
auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000
auto repeat delay: 500 repeat rate: 5
auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf
fa9fffffffdfe5ff
7f00000000000000
0000000000000000
callisto:bstark$
I wonder what is setting your values. In my $HOME/.xinitrc file I have the
following xset commands:
# Turn off click, adjust beep.
xset c off
xset b 25 4000 75
# Display Power Management System (DPMS)
# standby delay = 600 seconds (10 minutes)
# suspend delay = 900 seconds (15 minutes)
# off delay = 1200 seconds (20 minutes)
xset dpms 600 0 0
if [ -x $XWINHOME/bin/xscreensaver ]; then
$XWINHOME/bin/xscreensaver &
else
# Set a 5 minute screen saver.
xset s 300
xset s blank
fi
It doesn't look like I am doing anything to affect the keyboard autorepeat
rate, which makes me wonder what you might have in oyur configuration
files...
