Holding down the page-up key does not send repeated keystroke events on the
Sun workstations (this does not appear to be a problem with the linux
machines). If I hold down the up-arrow key, it has a "scroll up" effect,
while holding down the page-up key only results in one page-up.
I checked the keyboard settings in the gnome control panel, and the
"keyboard repeats when key is held down" box is checked. I also tried
running "xset r on" but that did not fix the problem.
If I run "xev" and hold down the up-arrow, I get multiple Keypress/Keyrelease
events:
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xc80001,
root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 1916662578, (308,508), root:(321,538),
state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xc80001,
root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 1916662623, (308,508), root:(321,538),
state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""

state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xc80001,

state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
(etc)
...but while holding down the page-up I only see one Keypress event:
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xc80001,
root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 1916673102, (563,619), root:(576,649),
state 0x0, keycode 82 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xc80001,
root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 1916675102, (563,619), root:(576,649),
state 0x0, keycode 82 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
