Keyboard Rate drops to minimum after standby

[Jeff <jcoppock1@comcast.net>]

Whenever I resume my laptop (Dell Latitude C610) from standby mode,
the keyboard rate has dropped to the minimum, or default, of 10 cps.
I run 'sudo kbdrate -r 24' to bump it back up to where I like it.

I've been trying get this to happen automatically using the apmd
processes, but I can't seem to get it to work.  

I put a script into both /etc/apm/event.d and /etc/apm/resume.d,
neither of which work.  The script is:

<bof>
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script fixes this problem of the keyboard rate
# getting set to 10 cps upon resuming from a suspend
# state.
#
# This script resides in /etc/apm/event.d
#

#if [ "${1}" = "resume" ] && [ "${2}" = "standby" ]; then
if [ "${1}" = "resume" ]; then
    kbdrate -r 30 -d 250
fi
<eof>

I've tried several variations on the format for the script, but can't
get it right.

System is running Sarge.

Can someone help me out here?

thanks,
jc
