+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The core protocol allows only control over whether or not the entire keyboard or
+individual keys should auto-repeat when held down. RepeatKeys is a boolean
+control that extends this capability by adding control over the delay until a
+key begins to repeat and the rate at which it repeats. RepeatKeys is coupled
+with the core auto-repeat control: when RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the
+core auto-repeat is enabled or disabled and vice versa.
+
+Auto-repeating keys are controlled by two attributes. The first,
+.I timeout,
+is the delay after the initial press of an auto-repeating key and the first
+generated repeat event. The second,
+.I interval,
+is the delay between all subsequent generated repeat events. As with all boolean
+controls, configuring the attributes that determine how the control operates
+does not automatically enable the control as a whole.
+
+.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
+sends a request to the X server to configure the AutoRepeat control attributes
+to the values specified in
+.I timeout
+and
+.I interval.
+
+.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
+does not wait for a reply; it normally returns True. Specifying a zero value for
+either
+.I timeout
+or
+.I interval
+causes the server to generate a BadValue protocol error. If a compatible version
+of the Xkb extension is not available in the server,
+.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
+returns False.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 15
+True
+The
+.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
+function returns True normally.
+.TP 15
+False
+The
+.I XkbSetAutoRepeatRate
+function returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not
+available in the server.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 15
+.B BadValue
+An argument is out of range
