To use this facility press and hold down ALT, then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical key- pad, then release ALT. The entered value is then used as the ASCII value for one character. This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value, not present on the keyboard.'' This feature don't work under 3.2-RELEASE. If this is a bug, then you need to fix syscons sources, else you need to fix documentation :) . >How-To-Repeat: Try to enter value under syscons as described above. >Fix: Don't know. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
