I'm using FBSD 2.1.5 on a Gateway 2000 P5-75 with 16M of mem. I'm
running XFree 3.1.2E and I'm using PCVT instead of SYSCONS.
So? Well, for some reason I can't shifted function keys to work. Under
a vt220 connection, I try running MicroEMACS (3.12 and 4.00) and f1 and
F1 work the same (ie, it doesn't recognize F1 as Shift-F1). This the
case for all the fuction keys BTW.
I get similar results under X as well. Also, running xkeycaps to see
just exactly what's going on, all I see is that the same scancode is
return for the function keys no matter what modifier key (shift, ctrl,
alt) is being pressed.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to revise my termcap entry? Is
it because I'm using pcvt instead of syscons?
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
