keyboard (repeat
delay/rate).
This works great when I boot up the computer.
However, if I use a KVM switch to go to another computer and come back,
the keyboard repeat delay and rate are messed up (probably default
settings, not my settings.)
What can I do about this, so that my keyboard repeat settings will be
automatically applied when a (new) keyboard is plugged in / replugged?
I can see that it is possible to set something up through udev, but I
don't know how to script TDE changes that appear to require the GUI. How
to script this? Or perhaps udev is not the right approach?
udev wouldnt help there - kvm switching is usually invisible to computer.
Write a command using xset to set desired repeat rate and delay and put it
somewhere on panel.
My have a following commands in it, usefull not only for kvm but also to
fix wine/vmware messing keyboard/mouse.
setxkbmap
xset r rate 250 30 m 20/10 4
