Hey Jason,
I'm not sure I know what you mean by "globally". Do you mean for all
users? Does it work at all?
I do this on my laptop (Woody, 2.4.19) through the use of APMD. I put
the script below in /etc/apm/resume.d/ called typematic:
<bof>
#!/bin/sh
# Set keyboard repeat rate to something fast
case "$1" in
resume|start)
if [ -f /sbin/kbdrate ]; then
kbdrate -r 30 -d 250
else
exit 1
fi
;;
*)
exit 0
;;
esac
<eof>
It seems to work when the system is rebooted too, although I don't
understand how. Also, if your script doesn't work at all at boot, it
could be because you haven't place a link to it in /etc/rc2.d.
