>Number: 2924 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: syscons X keyboard gets stuck in capsmode >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Mar 9 04:50:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Adam David >Organization: Veda Internet >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386 >Environment: syscons, XFree86 3.2, '@' on RALT+SHIFT+2 in xmodmap. >Description: Sometimes, entering '@' from the keyboard in X causes the keyboard to get stuck in capsmode (ShiftLock?). Pressing CapsLock will then toggle the LED, but does not change the capslock status. >How-To-Repeat: Define "keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl 2 at" with xmodmap. In normal use, press RALT+RSHIFT+2 to type '@'. Random, probably related to debounce timings. >Fix: This has only happened since the recent syscons changes, which were to prevent CTRL-ALT and similar combinations from getting stuck down. Until a fix is available, switch to a non-X vty and back again. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
