- Ehrm.. I guess I know what's happening, but since we don't have X
- sources (hint hint:-)) I can't verify. The sun ddx does the Caps-lock
- interpretation of the capslock key by itself, ie. on first key-DOWN it
- considers the key to have locked, skips the following key-UP, and on
- next key-DOWN key-UP it releases it again. Since the amiga keyboard on
- the other hand does NOT send a key-UP on the initial key press (ie. the
- amiga keyboard does the capslock logic by itself), you have to press
- capslock twice right now so get the sun-behavior. The fix in the
- server is simple, just remove the special treatment of capslock:-)

- Yep, Paul Mackeras has apparently created a gas with m68k pic, but I
- just didn't have time to look into this too over the weekend :-/

-
- Ok, I didn't remove if from the new console, so it's there for those
- that want to get headaches..
