This problem goes away when I map all combinations of lctrl and rctrl to cr, instead of just lctrl... I had assumed that this wasn't the problem since it worked before... My apologies... I sent the question quickly and paid for it... :( Regardless, unless someone correctly this definately means that it is a bug with syscons, so I'll file a bug report eventually (unless someone corrects me first). [heh. which reminds me of the ~2 pages of bugs (mostly man typos) I was going to check for in 2.2.2, but wiped-out in my muffed-up upgrade... :-[ -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
