Message-ID: <C5FLz5.K7H@rot.qc.ca> Summary: Syscons possible bug Keywords: SYSCONS BUG NUMLOCK Organization: Groupe de Recherche Operationnelle en Telecommunication (ROT) Inc. X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL9] Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1993 17:01:52 GMT Lines: 30 I just installed syscons-0.2 on my 386bsd system, complete with patchkit 0.2.2 I'm experiencing some very unusual behaviour: When the num lock key is press (numlock on), the numeric keypad switches to numeric mode as it should, however, when running vi or tcsh, the arrow keys no longer work, and after pressing an arrow key, most other key strokes are locked out (including numlock itself) until I press the / key. I looked at the code, and wondered if there is a way for the state of the keyboard to be confused? System: 386/33, 8MB RAM, 64K cache, 245MB & 80MB Maxtor ide, SMC 8013, ati vga wonder. Software: 386BSD-0.1 w/patchkit 0.2.2, syscons 0.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- captain@broue.rot.qc.ca | Andrew Webster | "The engines canna take it | | anymore cap'n..."
