Hi,

I am looking for a way to retrieve Keyboard Repeat Rate & Repeat Delay
in UNIX.

In windows, we make use of "SystemParametersInfo" API to get the
information about keyboard parameters using SPI_GETKEYBOARDSPEED and
SPI_GETKEYBOARDDELAY.

Similarly, from where can I find these attribute values in Linux. Have
checked "kbdrate" command which is used to set the values of rate and
delay.
Also looked into the source code "kbdrate.c" from
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212770

Here "kbd_repeat" structure is used and "KIOCSRATE" , "KDKBDREP"
structures are used to set the rate and delay values.

But I have no clue on where these settings are stored. Is it getting
stored on keyboard controller of SuperIO chipset ? Help me in finding
out the way to retrieve these attribute values.

Thanks,
Manasa

In X, the repeat delay and rate is part of the data reported by "xset q".
