Hi 386BSDers
I have installed 386BSD0.1 and used it to numerical calculation.
That works almost satisfactorily except a problem that the system
always hungs up whenever CAPS key is pressed.
So I got around the FAQ but never found any likely problem.
I inspected pccons.c to solve the problem and found that
scantokey[] and extscantokey[] seemed to be wrong in CAPS key position.
The keynumber for keyscancode 58H i.e. CAPS is defined as 0
instead of 30. I think this is not a bug but coded intentionally,
since this table is very fundamental for the system to run successfully.
So I have not yet rebuild the kernel. I'm a greenhorn in UNIX.
Please let me know how to solve this problem if you know anything
about that.
Thanks for any helps.
