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 again.
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.
sudo lsusb -v says:
//snip//
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.
I simply use the xset program. Write a litle executable script and
add is to the xfce startup programs
Mine is: xset r rate 250 50
Call the script anything you want and make it executable. It'll be run
everytime you boot.
looks lkie xset is the gatekeeper, a -q give the same results as the
settings gui did.
Thank you Frank Mc
