Everyone says that, but strangely, I was never able to disable the SlowKeys mode in this way... Once I accidentally turned it on, I had no way to turn it off but slowly slowly typing "xkbset -sl". I don't know why on my setup, a 10 second shift for the second time does not turn it off. But anyway, frankly, before I started to investigate this issue, there is no way I could have even guessed that a 10 second shift would solve this problem. It took me several months (!) to even figure out that the hangs I experienced were caused by pressing the shift for 10 seconds. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Sep 16 2012, 29 Elul 5772 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Attention: There will be a rain dance http://nadav.harel.org.il |Friday night, weather permitting. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
