Why? XFree86 has been doing its own autorepeat, I think.
$ xset q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000 auto repeat delay: 660 repeat rate: 25 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fa9fffffffdfe5ff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100
And I can change it via "xset r rate [delay [rate ]]", according to "xset help". Indeed, you can use 'xset' to change the rate/delay to very extreme values, which exceed the hardware allowed on AT/PS2 keyboards (e.g. rates > 30 cps), adjusted with the 'kbdrate' command. So, the only possibility for these hardware limits to be transcended is s/w based autorepeat.
