ps/2 keyboard emulation would probably the place to do it. I'm pretty sure not all keyboard types have auto-repeat. The linux kernel input layer has code to generate the auto-repeat kbd events in software, and that code is there for a reason I guess ... > No, this patch is implementing what the microcontroller does, i.e. 10 > presses + 1 release.

IIRC the (ps/2) kbd controller can be programmed with rate+delay. cheers, Gerd
