I don't think this is a bug so much as "How it works". As far as I can
determine, key repeat for PageUp and PageDown in Xsun aren't enabled by
"xset r"; you need to explicitly enable it for them by keycode.
On a Sun with a USB keyboard (Sun Blade 100, 150 and 1500), you can use:
xset r 82
xset r 85
to enable key repeat for PageUp and PageDown respectively.
If you care about Suns with old-style (Type 5) keyboards, the key codes
are different:
xset r 103
xset r 130
for PageUp and PageDown respectively.
