No xset 'r' args appear to work. 'xset q' shows that the server is
correctly registering 'xset r off' and it's definitely ignored. I
think it's fine that XWin currently ignores this stuff since it's
(without looking at the source) probably doing the right thing by
talking directly to the Windows keyboard driver at the application level.
Either way, I don't actually want 'xset r off', I really want something
like:
$ cat ~/.xserverrc
:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X -ar1 500 :0
...which doesn't seem to work either.

In a previous life I wrote X server support many ISA, VESA and PCI
graphics adapters. I remember the keyboard-and-mouse-input guy in
our group being a weary "glass is half empty" type person when struggling
with these devices and everything that an X server is expected to do
with them.
