I've heard this from somebody else running a ThinkPad. Scan code set I (aka. ``ancient PC scan codes'') is currently required by XFree86. You could try playing with kbdio(8) (it's not built by default, but you can find it in the pcvt sources under /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/), to further confirm or reject my theory. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
