Actually I only tried setting AutoRepeat via

 xset r rate 200 40

and this works fine.

But when setting it in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 it gets ignored for me.
Here are the relevant entries from XF86Config-4 and from /tmp/XWin.log.
Any hints ? is this supposed to work ?

>From XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier	"Keyboard1"
    Driver	"Keyboard"

    Option 	"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
    Option 	"XkbModel"	"pc105"
    Option 	"XkbLayout"	"de"

    Option 	"AutoRepeat"	"200 40"
