[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi there, I have a problem with getting my ALT keys working in a freshly installed 4.1.1-RELEASE version of FreeBSD. My alt-keys work fine in Windows so I don't think it's a problem with the keyboard... I also tried another keyboard with the same results. In Freebsd the keyboard mapping has been set to the US ISO keymap. Pressing ALT-1 for example, it is as if I was not even holding the ALT key down... just pressing the 1 key. I noticed this mainly in BitchX where I could not switch windows.. yet could from a different computer via telnet. Could you please help me out if you have any info? Thanks a lot!
