For me (with 2.0.5) it didn't even with keyboard detached. Though, I didn't do deep search on the issue. But I like BSDI behaviour. # The keyboard should be initialized after every console switch in case # X owned the keyboard and messed up something, e.g., the keyboard # repeat rate. So, this is the real source of that strange behaviour when Alt key seems to remain "pressed" after exiting X until you hit it several times? # Bruce # -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 An undocumented feature is a coding error.
