I hve been having problems typing messages because when I type often
I get more than one character. It gets so bad at times to be almost
unusable. My keyboard is not broken. I am on my third keyboard. I
experimented with some kernel settings such as i8042.reset,
attkbd.softrepeat=1, and clock=tsc. With these options I can turn off
the autorepeat function in a tty. But when I use X I get charaters
repeating. This happens on both kde terminals and xterms. The
autorepeat function below does not seem to work or have any
efffect when I change it.
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "kbd"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
Option "AutoRepeat" "20000 1"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftinet"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection
I am running suse SL10.1. I have also seen this problem on another
machiine afterr I installed FC5. I was not able to use it.
What could be causing this or can I just fix it by changing my config?
Where in the source code should I look? Could it be timing issue
unrelated to X? Or a driver problem???? It seems that some keyboard
repeat rates can be set in software.
