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. Harold
