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 rate to 10.9 characters per second (cps) -and the delay to 250 milliseconds (mS). These are the IBM defaults. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \-s -Silent. No messages are printed. -.TP -.BI \-r " rate" -Change the keyboard repeat rate to -.I rate -cps. 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. -.TP -.BI \-d " delay" -Change the delay to -.I delay -milliseconds. The allowable range is from 250 to 1000 mS, but the only -possible values (based on hardware restrictions) are: 250mS, 500mS, 750mS, -and 1000mS. -.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 faith@cs.unc.edu. -.PP -The above description is for i386 machines, and writing to some io port -won't work on other architectures. Nowadays -.B kbdrate -first tries if the KDKBDREP ioctl is available. If it is, it is used, -otherwise the old method is applied. - -.SH FILES -.I /etc/rc.local -.br -.I /dev/port -.SH AUTHOR -Rik Faith (faith@cs.unc.edu) |
