I handle this kind of thing with the kbdrate program, which

Sid:

Bookworm:
/sbin/kbdrate
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/kbd/filelist
The paths in both cases look like the program is intended for the
superuser.

I'll see if it will install. But apt says it is installed and current.
However, no man or info page.
Well, programs have man pages. Debian packages as a whole most often have
none.
bash: kbd: command not found
The package "kbd" does not contain a program named kbd.
Try some of those in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin in
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/kbd/filelist
(The man page of kbdrate is listed as
/usr/share/man/man8/kbdrate.8.gz
)
I did find kdbrate but all I could get out of it was "not supported"
xset otoh, seems to be the magic twanger in this case.
Thanks Tomas
Have a nice day :)
