Hello all. Please consider following scenario: 1. go to your console and make sure the "Caps Lock" is not active 2. run 'kbdcontrol -l ru.koi8-r' 3. run 'kbdcontrol -l us.iso' 4. run 'kbdcontrol -l ru.koi8-r' again 5. press the [Caps Lock] button 6. use "up" and "down" arrow keys to get recently entered 'kbdcontrol -l us.iso' and press [Enter] At this step my keyboard hangs totally, however the system could be accessed by ssh. This is 5.3-RELEASE-p5 on i386. I beleive the same hangs could happen with other keymaps those use the [Caps Lock] key as a switch key. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
