It is running on a stock source patched with the 2.2 patchkit. It fails on two levels. The basic functions work ok but when I attempt to switch screens with an ALT Fx key, I have just a few seconds to switch back to the original screen before it reboots the machine. The second failure is when I start the X-server. It fails with a KBDFORCEASCII: bad ioctl for device message (or close to that). I can't find that ioctl in any of the files or the ioctl.doc. Any suggestions? Al Rosenthal air+@pitt.edu
