OSMKSYMB - COMMA AND PERIOD KEYS ON AMS 5300 LAPTOPS DISPLAY SYMBOL
CHARACTERS IN OS/2
02/06/96
=======================================================================
Comma and Period Keys on AMS 5300 Laptops Display Symbol
Characters in OS/2
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
On the AMS 5300 series laptops, the comma (,) and period (.) characters
are not displayed when their keys are pressed. A symbol is displayed
instead. The uppercase characters, < and > are displayed correctly when
the Shift key is used.
RESOLUTION
This is not an OS/2 code problem. The system board might have an
incompatible controller chip. It is the actual chip, not the BIOS, that
controls the keyboard and mouse for the system. The problem also could
be related to the wrong video-mode setup on the system; for example,
when a video card with the WD90C24 chip set is set to the mono mode
instead of the 256K VGA mode for systems running VGA and 8514 video
modes.
Contact the vendor for this problem.
