Package: x11-xkb-utils Version: 7.5+5 Severity: important Whether a key is eligible to auto-repeat can be specified in XKB source, using the key.repeat property. xkbcomp processes this, preserving it in a compiled .xkm file and regurgitating it when decompiling a .xkm back to .xkb source. However, when it's asked to install a keymap, by giving it a display as a target, it doesn't install the per-key repeat property. Instead, the keys retain the repeat state that they previously had. Working around this requires use of "xset r" and "xset -r" to separately set the repeat flag for each keycode.
When xkbcomp is asked to read the keymap state back from a display, it correctly reflects the effective per-key repeat state. So "xkbcomp t0.xkb $DISPLAY; xkbcomp $DISPLAY t1.xkb" yields t1.xkb showing repeat states unrelated to those in t0.xkb, while in other respects showing equivalent settings. -zefram -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
