My alt-keys work fine in Windows so I = don't think it's a problem with the keyboard... I also tried another = keyboard with the same results. In Freebsd the keyboard mapping has been set to the US ISO keymap. Pressing ALT-1 for example, it is as if I was not even holding the ALT = key down... just pressing the 1 key. I noticed this mainly in BitchX = where I could not switch windows.. yet could from a different computer = via telnet. Could you please help me out if you have any info? Thanks a lot! ------=_NextPart_000_0013_01C037CC.CDF4C340 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4207.2601" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi there,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have a problem with getting my ALT = keys working=20 in a freshly installed 4.1.1-RELEASE version of FreeBSD.
