After upgrade to new stable xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 default autorepeat settings seem to be changed. I've tried to set it to my custom values via hal like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <!-- Keyboard --> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">base</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">us,ru</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">ctrl:nocaps,grp:toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.AutoRepeat" type="string">180 30</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> But it doesn't work. All keyboard settings works for me except AutoRepeat one. If I try to type: > callisto ~ $ xset r rate 180 30 > Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0". it works. Here is part of Xorg.0.log related to keyboard: >(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard >(II) LoadModule: "evdev" >(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so >(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation" > compiled for 1.6.3.901, module version = 2.2.5 > Module class: X.Org XInput Driver > ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 4.0 >(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: always reports core events >(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event3" >(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Found keys >(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Configuring as keyboard >(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD) >(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" >(**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev" >(**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru" >(**) Option "xkb_options" "ctrl:nocaps,grp:toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" There is nothing about AutoRepeat. Hal seem to set this option normally: >callisto ~ $ lshal | grep -i autorepeat > input.x11_options.AutoRepeat = '180 30' (string) So it seems like xorg-server's issue.

In addition to above info: I'm not running any DE, just x11-wm/awesome, so this should not be interference with DE's settings.
I think the option was removed from either the server or the driver. You'll need to add xset to your .xinitrc or .xsession. Thanks
I have problem, that can be related to this. After upgrade xserver to 1.6 (and evdev 2.1.3 -> 2.2.5), autorepeat of down and left arrow keys stop working (others keys are OK). Autorepet can be enabled via xset -r <keycode>. I tried downgrade evdev from 2.2.5 back to 2.1.3 and it returned back to working state, without need to enabling autorepeat via xset -r <keycode> for particul key.
Please, each of you, file separate bugs in FreeDesktop's bugzilla [1] so that X.org's input guys take a better look at your issues. I don't think they are related though, that's why you should each file your own bug. Please paste the url here once you've opened the bug report. Thanks [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
(In reply to comment #4) > Please paste the url here once you've opened the bug report. > Here it is: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24336
Actually this is a very long-standing issue and often triggered by funky keyboard options in xorg.conf . Upstream bug report is #17925
Autorepeat problem with arrow keys were reported long time ago, but it doesn't look, like it's going to be resolved in short time: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17925
I have also this problem. Just migrated my keyboard config to hal All my other settings works, except the AutoRepeat: <merge key="input.x11_options.AutoRepeat" type="string">200 30</merge> xset r rate 200 30 will set it nice and fine, but just for the keyboards currently plugged in. Plugging in a new keyboard will have all the old ones running the correct repeat rate, but not the new one, and unplugging and replugging makes it forget the setting for that keyboard. Thus, I need to run xset every time I re-plug a keyboard. It gets annoying after a while. Also, the autorepeat setting in kde control center does not affect keyboards not plugged in when kde starts. Is there a nifty tempy fixy way to get udev or hal to run a xset command or script when a keyboard is hotplugged?
