Title: i have an economical keyboard that is too fast
Post by: andrea_tinycore on November 23, 2009, 07:25:55 PM

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.

In X you can use "xset".

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.

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

Probably .xsession

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