So you are saying that repetition is reported by the microwindows driver
as a number of KEY_UPs followed by an immediate KEY_DOWN? Further
examination of the Microwindows driver shows that it simply passes what
the kernel driver reports. Thus I would have to assume that this
functionality lies with the kernel. I don't know if the user can
control the repetiton through the TTY ioctl, but somehwere I thought
that I heard that was possible. Anyone out there with more TTY
experience care to comment?
