I can't find an ioctl for this. (This is 3.3-RELEASE+PAO3, atkbd and syscons.) Failing that, has anyone figured out a keyboard mapping for an Inspiron 7000 that puts the left ALT key back where it belongs? (The reason for the first request is to try to determine what effect the left ALT key actually has. On this laptop, the "windows" key does what left ALT normally does, making life miserable when running a non-win98 external keyboard.) --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
