A couple of weeks ago there was some discussion of the finer points of resetting the keyboard mode after the (MIT) server exits abnormally. Here's a fragment from the script I'm using now, in case anyone else finds it useful... # save keyboard mode, run server, restore keyboard mode kmode=`(exec kbd_mode 2>&1) | sed -n 's/Current mode is \(.\).*/\1/p'` xinit -- $SERVER -debug ... kbd_mode -$kmode 2> /dev/null -- David DiGiacomo, Sun Microsystems, Mt.
