kbdrate doesn't work from apmd_proxy

[Dan Christensen <jdc@uwo.ca>]

If I run kbdrate as root from the command line:

  # kbdrate -r 23
  Typematic Rate set to 21.8 cps (delay = 250 ms)

it works fine.  But if I run it from a script in /etc/apmd/event.d

  #!/bin/sh
  case "$1" in
  resume)
      kbdrate -r 23 2>&1 | logger
      ;;
  esac

I get

  ioctl(KDKBDREP): Inappropriate ioctl for device

in my log files.

Any idea how to work around this?

Please cc me on replies.

Thanks,

Dan
