They don't apply any other way, so Urgent. Note: shane, please make
sure you have gnome2-settings-daemon working.

checked for the gnome2-settings-daemon and it is running

"ps -aef | grep gnome2-settings-daemon
gn_tst1	2086  2070  0  10:18:06  pts/4  0:00  grep
gnome2-settings-daemon"


Changes that are made in Keyboard capplet are not applied to desktop,
for example:
(1) Set the "Keyboard Repeat Rate:Delay before Repeating" to "Very
long" - this results in no change.
(2) Set the "Keybaord Repeat Rate:Repeat Speed" to Very fast" - this
results in no change

Fixes keyboard delay/rate settings

It seems that keyboard capplet and settings-daemon had different
GConf keys for all settings. The patch fixes that, but I am not sure,
whether it has any effect on solaris, as settings-daemon seems to
use only xf86extensions to set those values. If so, it has to be
fixed for solaris.

Lauris: please add the patch keyword when adding a patch... no biggie.

I have no privileges to change keyword :(

lauris: you do now.

*** Bug 62602 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Applied patch; fixed in CVS.

retested in beta2 (14/03/02)

keyboard properties capplet still won't apply changes - when changes
are made in the capplet nothing is reflected in the keyboard
behaviour. gnome2-settings-daemon is runnig.

would the patch applied on 12/03/02 have made it into beta2?

Shane: no, a patch of that date would not have made it in. Do you have
access to newer snapshots?

I could install one of our nightly builds that are taken from nightly
cvs snapshots but I am reluctant because of poor quality. I have some
other stuff that I have to get done on this beta2 build first.

this is still a problem as the gnome2-settings-daemon keeps crashing
on solaris. see bugid: 77775.

I tested with latest version on Solaris 2.9(64bit). It is working.

this is still broken on 32bit solaris 8 with beta3. None of the
changes made in the keyboard properties capplet are applied because
the gnome2-settings-daemon keeps crashing.

we have tried this on a number of 32bit solaris 8 machines and
gnome2-settings-daemon is crashing on login and everytime you try to
start a control centre capplet.

i didn't know that there was a complete gnome 64bit desktop - i
thought it was only a collection of libs.

I'd like to close this bug, as the keyboard capplet seems to be fixed
now, and 77203 is the bug for GSD crashing on Solaris.

still need to verify this is fixed which unfortunately can't be done
until the GSD bug is fixed.

am currently testing against a nightly from 10th april - I see from
bug 73585 that the GSD bug is fixed as of 112th April - will update to
a later version of nightly and retest asap.

Question:
The 'Delay before repeating' and the 'Repeat speed' options - are
these subtle in their changes? I don't really see any difference when
either option is modified.

Shane: they are fairly subtle; IIRC, though, there is a separate bug
about those not working on Solaris (though I can't find it ATM.)

Keyboard capplet is not applying changes in beta4 - 

The 'Keyboard repeats when key is held down' does not work. This has a
knock on effect to the 'Delay' and 'Speed' settings.

Another one, jacob.

either this is a "XKEYBOARD does not work on solaris" or "these are
using xf86misc settings" 

jody?

This is mostly fixed in CVS, but not sun-patches.

There are apparently several mechanisms for setting the autorepeat rate and
delay.
    - xfree86 extensions
    - XKB
    - Solaris accessx extension seems to have one

CVS currently uses the same scheme used in xfree86 for the xset command.  If
XKB is available use it, else fallback to xfree86 extension if available.
Can we have a look at the source for solaris' xset command to see how they do
it on that platform ?

Marking this NEEDINFO, since Jody is waiting on information from Sun.

Closing; Shane, please reopen if still a problem.
