I didn't notice limit in the man pages but will re-read. Since I'm sure stty is called after the kernal has loaded keymaps, I hadn't even considered such a limit. I must admit to being a little confused about when and where it's best to configure the keyboard beyond choice of keymap. I've read man pages, the Handbook, 'Complete FreeBSD', Keyboard Howtos and anything else I can get my hands on but have yet to see clearly how to do what I want to do. In a similar vein, my reply to a previous message of yours got bounced back to me as undeliverable so here's the gist of it. > In /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/ > > 092 nscr nscr debug debug nop nop nop nop O > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > If you change the second ``nscr'' to ``pscr'' then Shift-PrScr will switch > to the previous vty. I tried this but when I tried to reload the keymap,I got error unrecognized call. I'm using FreeBSD 3.4 straight off the CD, yours is newer? TTFN, MiKe PS: FreeBSD kbdcontrol ~= linux loadkey?
