Has anyone else using a Sun386i to run X11.R3 noticed that double (sometimes triple) characters are much more common? Please send a note to me, as the Sun Tech people need more info. Currently the only way that it is possible to use X is with key repeat off.

Please send Yes, we are running X11R3 on sun 386i and this is definitely a problem we have seen. The problem is the default setting for AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE in server/ddx/sun/sun.h. AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE controls how long you must hold down a key before autorepeat kicks in. Right off the tape, AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE is set to 200 (milliseconds), but we determined 300 to be a more optimal number. -- Rob Posadas -- Daisy Systems Corp 700 E. Middlefield Rd. Mt.
