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.
