- I've been looking at the keyboard drivers thinking about some
- enhancements and trying to figure out what is going on. The root directory
- Makefile for 0.99pl2 has comments in it about how you can set KBDFLAGS to
- certain values in order to cause various things to happen. I was interested
- in the 0x80 value to change the action of the Alt key. However from
- examining the code, I couldn't figure how this was supposeed to work. I
- decided to try building a kernel and see what would happen. Well, it didn't
- work for me. I'ld like to find out if anyone else has tried this with a
- recent version and can verify that it works for them.
