I used CentOS 5 for years. Suddenly, it takes one second holding a keyboard key until it shows on the screen: # uname -a Linux nitrogen 2.6.18-371.11.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Jul 23 15:54:19 EDT 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # xset -q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: off key click percent: 50 LED mask: 00000000 auto repeat delay: 660 repeat rate: 25 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fadfffdfffdfe5ef ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff bell percent: 100 bell pitch: 800 bell duration: 100 Pointer Control: acceleration: 20/10 threshold: 2 Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 600 Colors: default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215 Font Path: unix/:7100,built-ins Bug Mode: compatibility mode is enabled DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 1800 Off: 1800 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On Font cache: Server does not have the FontCache Extension File paths: Config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Modules path: /usr/lib/xorg/modules Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log I copied the CentOS 5 /etc/X11/xorg.conf to CentOS 7 (on the same computer) and rebooted - no effect. I copied the CentOS 7 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf to CentOS 5 and rebooted - no effect. I tried different CentOS 5 xset settings, I tried an IBM Soft Touch and a Logitech keyboard using different cabeling. What might resolve this new one second delay for each CentOS 5 keyboard key? What might have caused it? ThanX _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
