Pressing any key (even if it doesn't trigger any action) will result in autorepeat on. Apparently YaST loads the keyboard layout somewhere during the transition between the two screens (probably while doing system probing). The reason for this is the changed default handling of the core keyboard: the core keyboard is identified and the keyboard state is loaded on the first key press by the user. If the keymap gets modified before this is done the autorepeat state may not be the one of the core keyboard. Thus this is not a bug but a change in the semantics which was introduced with dynamic input devices and the virtual keyboard. I remember this being discussed on the last XDS in Edinburgh (maybe Luc also remembers). The situation can be remedied by just calling 'xon r on' or just by calling XChangeKeyboardControl(3) with the appropriate arguments after the keyboard layout has been loaded to turn on autorepeat. XAutoRepeatOn(3) may also already be sufficient. So please fix YaST. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
