I got no It ain't easy! I've been playing with it off and on for a little while, and still haven't gotten it right. Start with 'man kbdmap'. 'man kbdcontrol' also gives some clues. I haven't found the 'perfect' keymap. Each of the default ones has problems. Either= they give you the meta key and take away things like PgUp & PgDn, or the meta key stuff doesn't work quite right. If you get a working keymap, let me know! -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) The Incredible Brightness of Seeing, a Home Theater weblog http://jdarnold.tzo.com/HomeTheater To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
