Autorepeat does not work
It turns out that disabling PEAQ WMI hotkeys fixes it. I disabled PEAQ WMI hotkeys through first checking xinput list
, to find the id:
[email protected]:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Dell Dell KM632 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Dell Dell KM632 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell Dell KM632 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Lenovo EasyCamera: Lenovo EasyC id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Ideapad extra buttons id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell Dell KM632 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse id=18 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ PEAQ WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)]
In this case, the id is 17. Then, in the .xinitrc, I added xinput --disable 17
, or the id that is causing trouble, which fixes the problem.
It seems this is a bug introduced with kernel 4.13, as per Redhat bugzilla bug #1497861.
I found out that unloading the peaq_wmi
module also serves as a workaround; it seems that someone already submitted a patch to fix the issue though.
(To unload the peaq_wmi
module one can issue the command sudo modprobe -r peaq_wmi
.)
