Got an odd problem. xfce settings>keyboard repeat is lost on a reboot, and I
have to spend an hour or more, playing around with the repeat settings,
selecting different keyboards, the whole maryann before I can get the repeat
to work gain.
This keyboard is an escapee from a failed windows all in one that died from
monitor damage a couple weeks after I bought it, wired, usb, says its an hp
on the back, at least 115 keys, maybe more. has mute, vol up and down keys
above the arrow pad, and a 1/4 moon symbol on a 4th key that puts the
monitor to sleep and only a power down reset will reboot to restore it.
Front panel reset has no effect once this button has been pushed.

Does anyone have an idea how to make this repeat function survive a reboot?,
and what keyboard I should select from that pulldown on the
settings>keyboard menu?
I handle this kind of thing with the kbdrate program, which
is in the Debian package named 'kbd'. It's a command-line
application, so I'm not sure how to get it to work with Xfce.
.
gene@coyote:~$ kbdrate -p
Not supported
gene@coyote:~$ kbdrate --print

The Puzzle remains. That was from an xfce4 shell,
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
