    I am running X11 on a SparcStation 1+.  I also run SunView.
    My question is this:  Under X11 i tend to get more double
    character typos than under SunView.  Since X11 is all software
    controlled, I was wondering if there is a parameter I can 
    change somewhere to result in fewer double characters.

Read this paragraph from the Xsun manual page:

     -ar1 milliseconds
             This option specifies amount of time in milliseconds
             before   which   a   pressed  key  should  begin  to
             autorepeat.

So you just need to specify a larger value for -ar1 when you start
your server.
