Is anyone running FreeBSD 2.1.6 on an IBM Valuepoint? (these are the
most available machines in my lab....)

I've seen this on two 4dx2/66's ...

Whenever I hit the CAPSLOCK key (and sometimes when I hit one
of the CTRL keys) FreeBSD hangs the active session.

I can still telnet in to the machine, so the entire system is
not hung, but I can no longer do any work at the computer itself.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any BIOS incompatibilities
b/w FreeBSD and the Valuepoint line.

thanks...

-jan
