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.

Here is what I've tested: - Started installation from CD (Beta4) - After YaST has started: - switch to vc2 - edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow password logins - set a root password - did: ifconfig eth0 up - did: dhcpcd eth0 - ran: rcsshd start - logged in from remote (1) - on vc2 ran /bin/sh /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST.call installation inital (2) - navigated thru welcome screen purely by mouse - when 'mode' screen showed did: 'xset r on -display :0; xterm -display :0; input in xterm had autorepeat. - redid step (1) and (2) - when 'mode' screen showed did: xterm -display :0; input in xterm had *NO* autorepeat. So it is possible to turn it on doing 'xset r on'. Since I don't know what actions you are performing in YaST I cannot tell you where to turn it on. Please check your YaST command sequences and find out where you have to enable autorepeat. -- 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.

Still interesting news. Never new about this change. Maybe we can also get rid of this stupid workaround to reload the keyboard layout in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common to make keyboard layout working also with kdm/gdm autologin. -- 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.

And remove those "xset r rate 660 25" calls after each setxkbmap. -- 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.
