However with X, the situation is different. The entire key mapping is somehow screwed eg. the following keys generate the following characters return -> + d -> return \ -> backspace space -> D 1 -> N 3 -> < and so on. I read thru the X386(1) and X386keybd(1), but couldn't find anything to set to indicate the keyboard type, or anything relevent to my problem. Has anyone seen this before? Ofcourse, the mouse doesn't work either, but I still have to ask DEC what kind of a mouse it is and where it is connected. (It is not on com1, as my Xconfig says) The VGA display is OK, and the xterms look pretty. I am using the kernel-1.2.codrv-fix-1 since kernel-1.2.pccons-fix-1 did not work (plain 386BSD did not respond to the keyboard) -- Copyright KHUSHRO SHAHOOKAR, $0.02 khushro@eecs.umich.edu Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor
