Hi,i have an economical keyboard that is too fast.
How to disable the autorepeat or how to increase the delay before keys start repeating?
In damn small linux i use the kbdrate command,but tinycore has not this command.
Also,Puppy linux has a pupx tool,to disable autorepeat.
Thank you for help me!

You could request an extension, or make one yourself.

Otherwise, I think there is usually a bios option for that.

You may try lxinput.tcz

my pc has a phoenix-award workstation bios that has not this option...
Ok,i try with lxinput.tcz

In X you can use "xset".

how to use xset to disable the autorepeat? or to increase the delay?

[curaga]

usage:  xset [-display host:dpy] option ...
...
    To turn auto-repeat off or on:
   -r [keycode]        r off
    r [keycode]        r on
    r rate [delay [rate]]
...
    For status information:  q

So, "xset r off" to disable, "xset q" to check the state.

thank you curaga!
how to make permanently autorepeat off?
i dont have found a .xinitrc file in the home directory....

~/.xsession ~/.profile /opt/bootlocal.sh ?

[^thehatsrule^]

Probably .xsession

It would have to be .xsession, since xset doesn't work outside of X.
.profile and bootlocal.sh both run before X
