Yes, of course :). Sorry.

If you change it to 1ms you also want to change "input layer" to "vnc server" ... Or, better, move the last paragraph (which points out the inconsistency between input layer and vnc server defaults) to the top, then it's easier to read I guess. cheers, Gerd > > Alex > > > > > > how that number came to be, but empirical tests on some OpenQA > > > driven ARM > > > systems show that 10ms really is a reasonable default number for > > > the delay. > > > > > > With the current 1ms we're constantly typing faster than the > > > guest receives > > > keyboard events from our XHCI attached USB HID device. > > > > > > This patch moves the delay to 10ms.

If Wow, I guess I wrote the message so confusingly that I even confused myself. Yes, of course 10ms is correct. There is an "input layer" delay and a "vnc" delay. Today "input layer" delay defaults to 10ms while "vnc" delay defaults to 1ms. > you change it to 1ms you also want to change "input layer" to "vnc > server" ... > > Or, better, move the last paragraph (which points out the inconsistency > between input layer and vnc server defaults) to the top, then it's > easier to read I guess. Yeah, I agree. Alex

The default keyboard delay time in the input layer is 10ms. I don't know how that number came to be, but empirical tests on some OpenQA driven ARM systems show that 10ms really is a reasonable default number for the delay. With the current 1ms we're constantly typing faster than the guest receives keyboard events from our XHCI attached USB HID device. This patch moves the delay to 10ms. That way our default is much safer (good!) and also consistent with the input layer default (also good!).
