When I keep a key pressed on the keyboard, the key print on screen at the prompt, producing a row of the same character. This is what is happening on qemu and bochs. But not with Virtual PC.
Under VirtualPC, the keys are not repeated. I tried changing the steprate with 0x64 0xf3, the keys still doesnt repeat.
Is the normal behavior under VPC that the keys not repeating, or is it a symptom of a bug somewhere? I know of a solution, detecting for how long the key is down and do the repeat "manually". But I need to disable repeating on bochs and qemu.
Do you have an idea why the keys are not repeating on VirtualPC?

I will not delete this thread as an example for everybody here.
I have found the solution. I restarted my computer. I didnt restarted for a couple of months before that, and that was also the case of virtualpc.
SO it's normal there was some anomalies!!!!! :oops: :oops: :oops:
