Hi,

I just recently converted to codrv (from syscons) and have run into
some problems and questions.  Note that this is on a system with a
monochrom VGA display.  

1.	I cannot switch to ttyv6 with the F7 key.  Codrv seems to ignore
	the Ctl-Alt-F7 hot key.  Hitting Ctl-Alt-F7 appears to result
	in the same escape sequence that I get when hitting only 
	Ctl-F7.

2.	When in caps lock, the shift key does not result in lower case
	characters.  I am not certain whether this is a bug or a 
	feature :-)

3.	With my monochrom VGA monitor, things that should be highlighted
	(they were reverse video with syscons) are not.  If I turn the 
	intensity way up I can see a faintly lighter background.

Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
--
