additional options for utxsun
how can i pass additional options to utxsun?
i used to add the options
-ar1 250 -ar2 25 -clients 1024
to Xsun in /etc/dt/config/Xservers
it's clear that i've to use /etc/dt/config/Xservers.SUNWut.prototype now, but all utxsun entries there are dynamic...
utxconfig seems not to be able to add/change all utxsun options, only a very small (but important) set can be changed.

The most straightforward way to force these options, or any other options that 'utxconfig' does not cover, is to edit the 'utxsun' script and add them directly to the 'Xsun' command line. ('utxsun' is just a wrapper that builds an 'Xsun' command line and then execs it.) However, editing the script is unsupported and your edit could be overwritten by a patch.
As far as these particular options are concerned, I think '-clients 1024' is the default on Solaris 10 (check the 'Xsun' man page, I don't have it handy). The autorepeat parameters should be changeable dynamically if you enable the XKEYBOARD extension, which is one of the things 'utxconfig' does allow you to do.

If you're using JDS then use /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties. You can run it from the command line or from the 'Launch' menu, that's Launch->Preferences->Desktop_Preferences->Keyboard->Behavior.
I don't know what you'd use in other desktops. If you don't need a GUI then it would be easy to write a command-line program to invoke XkbSetAutoRepeatRate() with whatever arguments you want.
