Re: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22


Might be a good idea.

We were previously using two auto-repeat schemes at the same time:

1) xkb

2) Win32's auto repeat layer

Convince me why it is good to have two layers handling auto repeat by default and I will accede to your request.


Not sure it will convince anybody, just my point of view.
I'm using Cygwin/XFree to connect to some HP-UX and AIX boxes, and I can't use xkb because of this CDE/AltGr/whatever problem. (If I use xkb, I don't have access to |, @, etc...)
So I launch X via "X -kb" and then load my own .xmodmap.
This was working perfectly, but without Win32 autorepeat nor xkb autorepeat, I have no autorepeat at all :-(
My suggestion: is it possible to enable Win32 autorepeat only if X is launched with the -kb switch ?


Thanks for the very good job you all do,
Gael.
