See here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atkbd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.1-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html It is stated that the function keys can be overridden using kbdcontrol -f # s where '#' is a number from 1 to 96 and 's' is a string that will be outputted. When '#' is between 65 and 96 (unassigned functions), this works. However, this does not work for functions keys between 1 and 64! >How-To-Repeat: Type kbdcontrol -f 1 "string" then click F1 on your keyboard and see that "string" is not displayed. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
