There is no problem with the meta key when emacs on FreeBSD is run in its own X Window, instead in curses mode. Anyway, `(set-input-mode t nil t)` works for me for remote login. For syscons, this emacs setting *in combination* with the keymap file posted before works for me, too. This is sysconcs on 2.2-0801-Snap, standard PS/2 keyboard. When you are going to make this the default, remember that more than one language's keymap needs to be modified. Thanks for you help, I just wonder why I didn't ask before. Disabling "Meta" is as loosing one hand for me :-) Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer http://www.bik-gmbh.de/~cracauer Fax +49 40 522 85 36
