Enabling Auto-Repeat for Extended Input Devices

To enable auto-repeat for an extended input device, use XHPDeviceAutoRepeatOn.

int XHPDeviceAutoRepeatOn(display, deviceid, mode)
      Display     *display;
      XID          deviceid;
      unsigned int mode;

Title not available (Enabling Auto-Repeat for Extended Input Devices )

display: Specifies the connection to the X server.
deviceid: Specifies the ID of the desired device.
mode: Specifies the auto-repeat rate. Valid values are REPEAT_30, which causes repeats to take place every 1 \\over 30 of a second, and REPEAT_60, which causes repeats to take place every 1 \\over 60 of a second.

XHPDeviceAutoRepeatOn is provided to support the use of input devices other than the X keyboard and X pointer device. It cannot be used to turn auto-repeat on for the X keyboard device. The core XAutoRepeatOn function should be used for that purpose.

XHPDeviceAutoRepeatOn can generate BadDevice and BadValue errors.
