Patch to increase the default key repeat delay

Description Gautam Iyer 2008-03-23 10:24:05 UTC
Updated ebuild for xkbd: Virtual on screen keyboard.

Includes two patches:

    1. Fix handling of -geometry arguments (e.g -geometry 800x150+0-21 now does the right thing).
    2. Set the default repeat delay to 50ms. It shipped with a delay of 10ms, which caused clicks to send multiple keystrokes way too often.

It seems that upstream has moved somewhere else. I can't find new home - any hints?

Hmm -- I did however find the source online:

    ftp://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/mirror/pub2/ftp.handhelds.org/distributions/familiar/source/v0.8.4-rc1/sources/xkbd-0.8.15-CVS.tar.gz

The md5 sum matches, so if you add it to the Gentoo mirrors all should be fine. It's the only on screen keyboard I know that doesn't require Gnome, so it would be nice to have in Gentoo.
