Neither kernel has SYSVSHM by default, but that's digging in the wrong direction. You don't need it at all. (What you're missing then is the MIT-SHM extension of XFree86, but there are only very few clients that make use of it.) Your problem is totally different, and is (most likely) related to the syscons console driver. Its keyboard layer has been totally rewritten in 2.2. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
