I want to set this command
xset r rate 175 60
in xorg.conf, but when I write this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:escape_shifted_capslock"
Option "AutoRepeat" "175 60"
EndSection
only the first number is accpeted, checked via this
xset q:
auto repeat delay: 175 repeat rate: 16
Did I do something wrong?

Which desktop environment (or window manager) are you using? The configuration file might be over-ridden by the desktop.
If you're just using a window manager then check the X.Org log to see if it's actually reading the configuration file.
Where have you put it anyway? A list of valid locations is given in xorg.conf(5).
EDIT: perhaps try separating the two options, like this:
Option "AutoRepeat" "175" "60"
I don't have X installed so I can't test, sorry.

I'm using awesomewm, and I have this file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, also in the log, I found this
[ 10.082] (II) LoadModule: "kbd"
[ 10.082] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module kbd
[ 10.082] (EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 10.082] (EE) No input driver matching `kbd'
[ 10.082] (II) Falling back to input driver `libinput'

So does it work if you copy the keyboard stanza from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add your options there?
EDIT: I wish I could type...

The kbd driver is dead since ages and so was the autorepeat option until very recently, https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page= … AutoRepeat
The linked https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserv … 907ffee66b has a config pattern

So, after a bit of testing, I found that set it in the xorg.conf file will only allow the second number less than 31. So, I have to use my wm autostart function

I don't think so. Your syntax is off and the section and driver are wrong. It's more likely that your desktop session sets the value.
Please see the links I posted and then share your present xorg.conf

This is my xorg.conf, but still, if I set any number in the second position higher than 31, it will change to the decreased the value
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:escape_shifted_capslock"
Option "AutoRepeat" "175 60"
EndSection

Can you please post the xorg log for that configlet?
