The keyboard suffers from atrocious key bounce, as you will probably have noticed by the time you get this far. ;)

 

Method 1

Use "AccessX" to define the bounce delay:

 

1. Obtain the tarball and follow the installation instructions given at:

2. Add the following lines to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession after the section where it runs all the system xinitrc shell scripts:

 

# inserted to prevent key bounce

 

ax +bouncekeysax -timeoutax bouncedelay 5# end inserted lines

(This is for RedHat 8.0: other distros may be different, but essentially you need to find a file from which scripts are run every time the X-server starts up).

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Method 2

In file /etc/X11/XF86Config, set the Xkbdisable function as follows:

 

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

Option "XkbDisable"

 

This works more reliably than Method 1, but you will lose some keyboard functionality, specifically anything invoked by the AltGr key.
