Subj: keyboard repetition rate
Is there a way to speed up the boring slow repetition rate of the keyboard
of a PI. We have a 4D70 too, on this keyboard the repetition rate is ok.

The next major (x.y) software release has user-settable software repeat
because of this problem.  I'm hopeful that future hardware will not make
the same mistake.
