I'm a long time SunView user/programmer who now finds that I must use X occasionally. Under X it annoys me to no end that the autorepeat is too fast. According to the documentation, Xsun can be started as follows: Xsun -ar1 milliseconds -ar2 milliseconds where the two milliseconds values control the behavior of the keyboard autorepeat. The first specifies the delay before autorepeat is engaged. The second specifies the delay between generated characters while autorepeat is in effect. Does anyone know or know where to find what these values are under SunView? I'm quite used to the SunView behavior of autorepeat and would like to setup my X environment to behave the same way.

According to the documentation, Xsun can be started as follows: > Xsun -ar1 milliseconds -ar2 milliseconds At least in the current version it's user-modifiable; previously you were stuck with this behavior. I can only guess that no one at Sun who uses Xsun knows how to touch type! ;-) For what it's worth, I use 550 and 40. Anything greater than 999 will cause the server to ungracefully crash... P.S. On a slow day you can try 1 and 1. "The views expressed within solely my own." (coleman@twinsun.com) I'm going to write an object-oriented extension and call it "ADD 1 TO COBOL."
