>Environment:

XFree86 compiled and installed as contained in
ports-package for 2.2.1 (just like everything else)

>Description:

Keyboard-repeat-rate (pcvt) is quite slow here. So I'm setting it
faster with kcon from /etc/rc.local.
When the X-Server starts up, repeat-rate is reset to original value -
efficient both within X and on the virtual tty's.

This wasn't the case with FreeBSD-2.1.0 - there the keyrepeat-rate within
X did follow the kcon setting and wasn't reset. 
(People told me the keyrepeat-rate for X should be separately configured
via XF86Config. This does not work, anyway.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:

Use xdm. Reconfigure kcon from xdm/Xsetup, after X server startup.

regards,
PM

 The pcvt in 3.0-CURRENT uses different set of I/O routines to access
 the keyboard. Get files in /sys/i386/isa/pcvt in the 3.0-CURRENT tree
 and see if they work for you. (You are advised to backup the original
 pcvt source and the kernel before doing this, of course)

The originator doesn't respond. 
The problem should be fixed in 3.0-CURRENT and 2.2.5-RELEASE.
