[etc etc] Just curious, not that i think pcvt were cleaner code than syscons, but perhaps you can give it a try and report if your problem will go away? pcvt is just using totally different code for keyboard and screen handling, so we will be able to see if it's rather a keyboard- driver-related problem or something with your hardware. (Look into /sys/i386/conf/LINT on how to enable pcvt.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
