At startup, the Linux kernel sets the repeat rate to its maximal value.
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
For most keyboards this is reasonable, but for some it means that you
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
can hardly touch a key without getting three copies of the corresponding
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
symbol. Use the program kbdrate(8) to change the repeat rate, or, if
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
that doesn't help, edit or remove the section

Scott Johnston (sj@zule.com) reports: `To program the
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
repeat rate of a Gateway AnyKey keyboard all one has to do
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
is press the "Repeat Rate" key, then a function key
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
F1-F8, then "Repeat Rate" again. F1 is the slowest possible repeat rate,
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
and F8 is really fast. If you somehow manage to mess up your AnyKey
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
keyboard doing this, simply press Ctrl-Alt-SuspndMacro to reset
|
|
Packit Service |
50ad14 |
your keyboard to factory default settings.'
