It generates a key press and five seconds later a key release.
Nothing more, nothing less. No repetition at all.

xev output:
--8<--
KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x89, subw 0x2200002, time 1828774, (37,45), root:(879,585),
    state 0x0, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 characters:  "1"

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x89, subw 0x2200002, time 1833774, (37,45), root:(879,585),
    state 0x0, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 characters:  "1"

I probably need to find another function... But it's working for you?

Yes, that's how I compile it too.

XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 (Debian 4.2.1-14 20031113215638

It's not being repeated at all. I want it to be repeated just like if I had 
pressed the 1 button physically on my keyboard.

Thanks for your time!
