Subject: User mode keyboard rate changer
Date: 27 Apr 92 13:44:26 GMT
I put together this program, called kbdrate.c, which will reset the keyboard
repeat rate and delay in user mode. The program must have read/write
access to /dev/port, so if /dev/port is only read/writeable by group port,
then kbdrate must run setgid to group port (for example).
The "rate" is the rate in characters per second
The "delay" is the amount of time the key must remain depressed before it
will start to repeat.
Usage examples:
kbdrate set rate to IBM default (10.9 cps, 250mS delay)
kbdrate -r 30.0 set rate to 30 cps and delay to 250mS
kbdrate -r 20.0 -s set rate to 20 cps (delay 250mS) -- don't print message
kbdrate -r 0 -d 0 set rate to 2.0 cps and delay to 250 mS
I find it useful to put kbdrate in my /etc/rc file so that the keyboard
rate is set to something that I find comfortable at boot time. This sure
beats rebuilding the kernel!
