To bring the autorepeat timing back to be similar to what it was
under release 7.6:

diff config.solaris /etc/athena/login/config
1c1
< X     /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun  -fp /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc :0 -nobanner 
---
> X     /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun  -fp /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc :0 -nobanner -ar1 333 -ar2 45

The new Xsun man page documents these options and their current defaults.
The old man page does not document the defaults, so I got these numbers
by a combination of feel, a stopwatch, and tweaking. The current delays in
7.7 seem really annoying, so I think we should add these args... (Probably
to the commented line in config as well.)
