Keyboard rate question..

    On systems where one keyboard is shared between two or more
    computers, when you switch the mechanical switch from one machine
    to the next, the keyboard repeat rate gets reset to slowness.

    I'd like the keyboard to maintain my repeat rate across this if
    possible. I'd like it to be seamless - so no user needs to do
    anything. Thus I figured the best way would be to have the
    keyboard handler detect the keyboard disappearing and reappearing
    and reprogram the repeat rate. Another option would be to
    reprogram the repeat rate upon VC switch.

    Any other ideas? Sample code? I'd really appreciate it,
    thanks..

    I've overclocked my keyboard interface.  It's quite messy dipping my
hands into the mineral oil, but *MAN* is my keyboard ever fast now!
