Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-16

The X server seems to modify the keyboard repeat settings normally set
in the BIOS, which I normally set as 250ms before starting to repeat
and 30 chars per second when repeating. As a workaround I have the
following in XF86Config-4:

        Option          "AutoRepeat"    "250 30"

but this was not required at all in XFree86 version 3 (at least not
with the xserver-mach64 server).

It would be nice if the X server did not fiddle with keyboard
settings, since XFree version 3 didn't.

If this is not possible or easy, it would be nice to have a debconf
option which asks about the desired AutoRepeat settings, at least.

Thanks.

No reply within several months, closing this bug now.
If anybody ever reproduces, feel free to reopen.
