<P>In this dialog, users can adjust the following settings for the keyboard:
<P>
<UL>
<LI><B>Keyboard repeat</B>: If Keyboard repeat is
<B>On</B>, the <B>autorepeat</B> feature is enabled:
this causes holding down a key to become equivalent to
typing it over and over again in rapid succession.
This featue is disabled when Keyboard Repeat is <B>Off</B>.
</LI>
<LI>The <B>key click volume</B> is controlled by
a slider. This feature gives audible feedback to the
typist when a key is struck.</LI>
</UL>
<P>Note: Keyboard settings are managed by  the X server.
While the X server attempts to make good use of the available hardware,
this is not always possible. 
For example, on some systems the key click is enabled
or disabled in the CMOS setup and the X server cannot supply an
alternative. Thus, if a setting does not seem to do anything, it is 
probably because that feaure is unsupported by
the X server and/or the hardware.
