I basically took my GF's computer and said "This computer needs FreeBSD" and away went her Win3.11 install. *cheer* However, she has no manuals, or such, and I have no idea what's inside there, really. I could open it up and try to peek later, possibly. I'll send info to you privately on this,if it doesn't solve itself soon, Soren.

How was I supposed to know there was such a program? *duck* :-) Seems I did too little research. Oh well... Thanks for the useful info/correction. Still, it would be nice to be able to set a system default in the config file, I think. [snip] > > (Oh, this is only in console mode, ofcourse. In X it works fine.) > > Where's the error?

CTRL-ALTGR-9 would be very logical, since ALTGR-9 is ']'.

Would it be hard to make a patch for 2.1.5 to allow the same thing? A lot of code-changes that needs to be insterted from -current to do this? /Mikael PS.
