As the poster has pointed out, there are some problems with ttymap. In fact, the documentation is poor. Be careful on other circumstances too. Some points I figured out myself for the virtuell console screens are: - ttymap partially affects the active screen only, but partially affects all screens (the latter is true for scan code mapping). So be careful how you remap your keyboard (do you want it to be effective all the time or only for this virtuell screen?) - Parts of the scan code mapping do not allways work as described (esp. the CAPS/NUM feature). - ttymapping can sometimes be counterproductive for using VP/ix. At least "toggle" to the unmapped state, before you enter VP/ix. - Never reset the mapping (ttymap -d) if you are *not* root. It seems, that this (at least) hangs the keyboard so that you have to reboot, if there's no second terminal. I hope this was helpfull especially to international users, who might run into this sort of problems, because they typically need more mapping. If you have any (or other) problems or solutions to the above ones, you may send me e-mail. Im willing to help you and I want to extend the knowledge about my system. -- Martin Weitzel, email: martin@mwtech.UUCP, voice: 49-(0)6151-6 56 83
