XKB FUNCTIONS                          XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3x11)



NAME
     XkbSetAutoRepeatRate - Sets the attributes of the RepeatKeys
     control for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     Bool XkbSetAutoRepeatRate (Display  *display,  unsigned  int
          device_spec,  unsigned int timeout, unsigned int inter-
          val);

ARGUMENTS
     - display
          connection to X server

     - device_spec
          device to configure, or XkbUseCoreKbd

     - timeout
          initial delay, ms

     - interval
          delay between repeats, ms

DESCRIPTION
     The core protocol allows only control over  whether  or  not
     the  entire  keyboard  or individual keys should auto-repeat
     when held down. RepeatKeys is a boolean control that extends
     this capability by adding control over the delay until a key
     begins to repeat and the rate at which it  repeats.  Repeat-
     Keys  is  coupled  with  the  core auto-repeat control: when
     RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the core  auto-repeat  is
     enabled or disabled and vice versa.

     Auto-repeating keys are controlled by  two  attributes.  The
     first,  timeout,  is the delay after the initial press of an
     auto-repeating key and the first generated repeat event. The
     second,  interval,  is the delay between all subsequent gen-
     erated repeat events. As with all boolean  controls,  confi-
     guring   the  attributes  that  determine  how  the  control
     operates does not automatically  enable  the  control  as  a
     whole.

     XkbSetAutoRepeatRate sends a request to the X server to con-
     figure  the  AutoRepeat  control  attributes  to  the values
     specified in timeout and interval.

     XkbSetAutoRepeatRate does not wait for a reply; it  normally
     returns  True. Specifying a zero value for either timeout or
     interval causes the server to generate a  BadValue  protocol
     error.  If  a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not
     available in the server, XkbSetAutoRepeatRate returns False.

RETURN VALUES
     True           The  XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  function   returns
                    True normally.

     False          The  XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  function   returns
                    False  if  a  compatible  version  of the Xkb
                    extension is not available in the server.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadValue       An argument is out of range
