Excuse me if this is not too close bsd related but X386 instead
but as I saw many X386 heads hanging around here ...
I wanted to map some keypad (vt100 sequences) to NumLock and the other
keys in the key pad of the PC board of my 386BSD PC.
I tried with xev that every key hit gives an event. But when I map
XTerm.VT100.Translations: #override \
<Key>NumLock: string("something")\n\
the action takes place only every second time. This is independent
of whether I have ServerNumLock enabled or disabled in my Xconfig file.
Is this a bug or a feature or is it simply my misunderstanding of
the NumLock key meaning. I thought the special behaviour could be
switched off by ServerNumLock.
