How to make Xorg not reset settings on resume?

10110111 · 05-17-2010, 02:42 PM

I have configured Xorg keyboard:

Code:

xset r rate 200 50

After i suspend & then resume, this setting is reset, and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace which is set up in Xorg like this:

Code:

Option "DontZap" "false"

also doesn't work. I'm not using any DE like KDE or GNOME, so using settings daemon is undesired.

How can i fix this problem? Maybe it's a bug and i should report it?

You can work around this by putting an override hook in /etc/pm/sleep.d named something like 99xset and similar to

#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=":0"
case "$1" in
thaw|resume)
xset r rate 200 50
;;
esac

this will override anything set in /usr for the pm-utils package and may work - not sure if it's a bug or as designed you can try to search bugzilla or your distros bug reporting engine.
