Description
Motivation¶
Independent of fixing the actual performance problems I think it can help in general for openQA tests if we configure the systems we test in with a disabled key repeat to mitigate the issues, i.e. "xset r off" within X11 sessions or whatever can be seen as equivalent in non-X11 getty terminals. According to fvogt "There's also an ioctl for the vtcon". The command "kbdrate" allows to configure something but says only for "Intel" and does not allow to disable key repeat completely, only increase times, which could already help enough. By default keyboard delay is "250 ms". Any different setting likely needs to be applied per VT. So in a true text tty one could use kbdrate -d 1000 and in X xset r off whenever we start a new terminal.

No complaints received. I assume that key repeat errors are a problem of the past now, … at least for os-autoinst-distri-opensuse.
