When running locally, I get:
Keyboard Control:
auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000
auto repeat delay: 500 repeat rate: 31
auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf
fadfffffffdffdff
ffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffff
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100
When logged into a remote machine via -query I get exactly the same
values. I do not have an XF86Config file, and I am not passing any of
the following command-line parameters to XWin.exe:
======================================================================
The X Keyboard Extension adds the following arguments:
-kb disable the X Keyboard Extension
+kb enable the X Keyboard Extension
[+-]accessx [ timeout [ timeout_mask [ feedback [ options_mask] ] ] ]
enable/disable accessx key sequences
-ar1 set XKB autorepeat delay
-ar2 set XKB autorepeat interval
[...]
-xf86config
Specify a configuration file.
======================================================================
My /tmp/XWin.log file has the following:
======================================================================
(--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000409" (00000409)
(EE) No primary keyboard configured
(==) Using compiletime defaults for keyboard
Rules = "xfree86" Model = "pc101" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)"
Options = "(null)"
======================================================================
Could you please confirm that you are not passing any additional args to
XWin.exe, then send in your XWin.log files from both a local session and
from a session when you use -query to connect to a remote machine? That
should help us to investigate the problem.
