- It does, of course. Geez. The offending code is line 264 of if_ec.c,
- and can be easily recognized by its lack of indentation.
-
- And the fact that it says, in its entirety, `printf ("ecinit");'

- Is anybody else running X386 with the Keypro (Focus) FC9000 keyboard?
- The FC9000 seems to be remarkably buggy, particularly where the pf keys
- are concerned. Programming ctrl-alt-+ results in the following sequence,
- according to xev:
-
- keypress Control-L
- keypress Alt
- keyrelease + (!)
- keypress +
- keyrelease Alt
- keyrelease Control-L
-
- I may have the last two reversed, but the gist of it is that the plus
- key gets its events swapped, defeating the utility of that sequence for
- cycling display modes. My usable workaround is to use Control-R and
- Alt-R (actually Meta); the events will then occur in the correct order.
