Hi there,

I have a problem with getting my ALT keys working in a freshly installed =
4.1.1-RELEASE version of FreeBSD.  My alt-keys work fine in Windows so I =
don't think it's a problem with the keyboard... I also tried another =
keyboard with the same results.

In Freebsd the keyboard mapping has been set to the US ISO keymap.

Pressing ALT-1 for example, it is as if I was not even holding the ALT =
key down... just pressing the 1 key.  I noticed this mainly in BitchX =
where I could not switch windows.. yet could from a different computer =
via telnet.

Could you please help me out if you have any info?

Thanks a lot!
