The delay -is the amount of time that a key must be depressed before it will start to -repeat. - -Using -.B kbdrate -without any options will reset the repeat rate to 10.9 characters per second (cps) -and the delay to 250 milliseconds (ms) for Intel- and M68K-based systems. -These are the IBM defaults. On SPARC-based systems it will reset the repeat rate -to 5 cps and the delay to 200 ms. - -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \-s -Silent. No messages are printed. -.TP -.BI \-r " rate" -Change the keyboard repeat rate to -.I rate -cps. For Intel-based systems, the allowable range is from 2.0 to 30.0 cps. -Only certain, specific values are possible, and the program will select the -nearest possible value to the one specified. The possible values are given, -in characters per second, as follows: 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, 3.7, -4.0, 4.3, 4.6, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.7, 7.5, 8.0, 8.6, 9.2, 10.0, 10.9, 12.0, 13.3, -15.0, 16.0, 17.1, 18.5, 20.0, 21.8, 24.0, 26.7, 30.0. -For SPARC-based systems, the allowable range is from 0 (no repeat) to 50 cps. -.TP -.BI \-d " delay" -Change the delay to -.I delay -milliseconds. -For Intel-based systems, the allowable range is from 250 to 1000 ms, -in 250 ms steps. For SPARC systems, possible values are between 10 ms and 1440 ms, -in 10 ms steps. -.TP -.B \-V -Display a version number and exit. -.SH BUGS -Not all keyboards support all rates. -.PP -Not all keyboards have the rates mapped in the same way. -.PP -Setting the repeat rate on the Gateway AnyKey keyboard does not work. If -someone with a Gateway figures out how to program the keyboard, please send -mail to util-linux@math.uio.no. -.PP -All this is very architecture dependent. -Nowadays -.B kbdrate -first tries the KDKBDREP and KIOCSRATE ioctls. -(The former usually works on an m68k machine, the latter for SPARC.) -When these ioctls fail an ioport interface as on i386 is assumed. -.SH FILES -.I /etc/rc.local -.br -.I /dev/port |
