The only problems I am encountering seem to be keyboard related. Sometimes, when I enter text in an xterm or even under xdm, I will get uppercase characters and am unable to get back to lower case. Is this the default handling (like login) which senses you have only uppercase available ? Also, sometimes when running some x apps, like the new tetris that was posted recently, the input is supposed to be in the x app window, but the text appears in the xterm, even though the window manager focus is definitely in the X application. Also, the tty driver also seems to get into cooked mode with control characters from time to time. This is very unfortunate if you happen to press 'D' ... ;-) Also, the output of ps returns -1.0 for certain percentages - is this the floating point emulation bug ? (I have no co-processor).
