Hi, networld,
I'm using X386 server of BSD/386 on ATI's Graphic Ultra Pro, and have
trouble in Mode_switch key. In the source (mit/server/ddx/x386/x386Events.c,
line 368), I found:
/*
* Ooops. Some new ideas here. The Mode_switch key is not defined either as
* lock key or troggle key. My interpretation is that normally this key will
* be treated as troggle. Except if KEY_AltL is allready pressed. Then no
* release event will be sent till Mode_switch without KEY_AltL is pressed
* again. The ScrollLock Led will signal this lockstate
*/
But Mode_switch doesn't become a toggle key(troggle should be a mistype or
something) regardless of ALT_L.
Anyone can use it as toggle ?
Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thank you.
Tetsuji
