Everything works fine as long as I don't start X-Windows (XFree 1.2) using the compiled X386 which is part of the keycap-0.1.1 distribution. Within X-Windows the mouse works only in horizontal direction and the mapping of the keyboard is totally out of order (pressing the 'a', 's', 'd' keys causes numbers to appear, shift right produces some special character like '=' or '+' - I forgot what it actually was). Some time later (~30 seconds) the whole BSD-machine hangs and has to be rebooted. Just to make things clear: X-Windows worked absolutely all right without any problems before installing keycap. As a try to solve the problem, I used the supplied kernel instead of the one I have build from the sources after applying all necessary patches, but I discovered that doesn't contain the patch for reserved ports with NFS which is essential for us, because we have to mount part of the BSD system from a Sun via NFS. Has anyone experienced similar problems or has anyone an idea how I can get things going the way they are supposed to work ? Thanks for your help, Michael. -- Michael Feig INTERNET: meikel@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de Department of Physics meikel@cs.tu-berlin.de Technical University of Berlin
