3 Subject: User mode keyboard rate changer
4 Date: 27 Apr 92 13:44:26 GMT
6 I put together this program, called kbdrate.c, which will reset the keyboard
7 repeat rate and delay in user mode. The program must have read/write
8 access to /dev/port, so if /dev/port is only read/writeable by group port,
9 then kbdrate must run setgid to group port (for example).
11 The "rate" is the rate in characters per second
13 The "delay" is the amount of time the key must remain depressed before it
18 kbdrate set rate to IBM default (10.9 cps, 250mS delay)
19 kbdrate -r 30.0 set rate to 30 cps and delay to 250mS
20 kbdrate -r 20.0 -s set rate to 20 cps (delay 250mS) -- don't print message
21 kbdrate -r 0 -d 0 set rate to 2.0 cps and delay to 250 mS
23 I find it useful to put kbdrate in my /etc/rc file so that the keyboard
24 rate is set to something that I find comfortable at boot time. This sure
25 beats rebuilding the kernel!
28 kbdrate.c -- Set keyboard typematic rate (and delay)

32 Copyright 1992 Rickard E. Faith. Distributed under the GPL.
33 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
34 Usage: kbdrate [-r rate] [-d delay] [-s]
35 Rate can range from 2.0 to 30.0 (units are characters per second)
36 Delay can range from 250 to 1000 (units are milliseconds)
38 Compiles under gcc 2.1 for Linux (tested with the pre-0.96 kernel)

41 Changed valid_rates per suggestion by Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl.

43 Added patch for AUSTIN notebooks from John Bowman

46 Linux/68k modifications by Roman Hodek
47 (Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de):
49 Reading/writing the Intel I/O ports via /dev/port is not the
50 English way... Such hardware dependant stuff can never work on
53 Linux/68k has an new ioctl for setting the keyboard repeat rate
54 and delay. Both values are counted in msecs, the kernel will do
55 any rounding to values possible with the underlying hardware.
57 kbdrate now first tries if the KDKBDREP ioctl is available. If it
58 is, it is used, else the old method is applied.
