As best I can tell, this "kbdrate" command DOES NOT WORK AT ALL on my system (Intrepid, 2.6.27-11-generic).
I have a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard (configured in Keyboard Preferences as a "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" model), which I've tried connecting to my desktop both via its native USB connector and via a purple adapter to the PS/2 keyboard jack. I've tried "kbdrate -r 4 -d 750", both in /etc/rc.local and in a terminal window, but I still get a much faster keyboard autorepeat no matter what I do. The xorg.conf workaround also DOES NOT WORK AT ALL for me. I am most definitely not a novice, but I fully agree with "Gumby" that this is a critical bug for novices. Even if one of the workarounds we've been discussing did happen to work, it is not acceptable to expect a newbie to type a command in a terminal window (much less edit a configuration file) even ONCE -- to say nothing of doing it every time they restart or log in. -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
