Thanks for pointing us in the right direction. If we'd been paying attention when we were editing the kernel conf file, we would have prevented the problem in the first place: # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100 # Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver #device vt0 at isa? #options XSERVER # support for X server on a vt console #options FAT_CURSOR # start with block cursor # If you have a ThinkPAD, uncomment this along with the rest of the PCVT lines #options PCVT_SCANSET=2 # IBM keyboards are non-std Appreciate the tip. .\\ichelle --------------------- Michelle Brownsworth System Administrator PrimeLogic Communications http://www.primelogic.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
