yes. > xset in .xsession, and executed from the console works? insofar as it executes the command &&ed after it, yes. but it doesn't set the rate when called in .xsession. > xset in .xsession, and sourced from the console works? see above -- same problems. > xset in .xsession during session start works? see problems above -- &&ed echo command just gets stuck into ~/.xsession-errors, but it doesn't set the keyboard rate. > in general, what's .xsession-errors say? a lot of crap. having rm'd the entire file, running .xsession creates the following ~/.xsession-errors file: orange:~> cat .xsession-errors keyboard rate set xscreensaver-command: throttled.
