How do I make my keyboard repeat a character faster? Like if I hold down delete, it goes really slow, and I want it a bit faster.

Thanks,
Nodd

You can change it like this, but whic values?
Setting the keyboard repeat rate:
- via command line:
xset r rate 250 30

- or in XF86Config, by using a section like this:

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Keyboard0"
         Driver      "keyboard"
         Option      "CoreKeyboard"
         Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
         Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
         Option "XkbLayout" "us"
         Option "Autorepeat" "250 30"
      EndSection
