It does, of course. Geez. The offending code is line 264 of if_ec.c,
and can be easily recognized by its lack of indentation.
And the fact that it says, in its entirety, `printf ("ecinit");'
Is anybody else running X386 with the Keypro (Focus) FC9000 keyboard?
The FC9000 seems to be remarkably buggy, particularly where the pf keys
are concerned. Programming ctrl-alt-+ results in the following sequence,
according to xev:
keypress Control-L
keypress Alt
keyrelease + (!)
keypress +
keyrelease Alt
keyrelease Control-L
I may have the last two reversed, but the gist of it is that the plus
key gets its events swapped, defeating the utility of that sequence for
cycling display modes. My usable workaround is to use Control-R and
Alt-R (actually Meta); the events will then occur in the correct order.
