coverup Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I would like my keyboard keys (mainly arrows) respond a bit faster... I know that this can be done using xset xset r rate 200 40 Where should I put this line to make sure that KDE does not overwrite xset? I tried adding this line to statrtx, /etc/X11/Xsession, but after KDE starts, my keyboard is slow again - I have to run xset from the konsole...

beesea Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 i haven't used kde in quite some time, but shouldn't there be some place in the control center to allow you to change the keyboard repeat rate (which in turn will call xset)?

bvc Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 It is in kcontrol but if that doesn't work make a script, say,oh, xset.sh with your xset command in it and put it in ~/.kde/Autostart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Configuration->KDE->Periferials->Keyboard contains the following checkboxes: Keboard repeat - checked Use sticky keys - unchecked Use slow keys - unchecked Use bounce keys - unchecked Numlock on KDE startup - this one is a button - self-explanatiry The Help button takes me to a page which does not contain any mention of `sticky keys', `slow keys', or `bounce keys'... Instead it talks about options such as keyboard layout - options, i don't see but would find it useful - it's a laptop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 It turned out that XF86Config-4 did not have AutoRepeat option set... Adding Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" fixed the problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't change the rate settings through "xset" Jim Wagner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
