- I installed the recent version of keycap onto our BSD machine by
- patching the kernel according to the given diff-Files and supplemental
- source files. Everything works fine as long as I don't start X-Windows
- (XFree 1.2) using the compiled X386 which is part of the keycap-0.1.1
- distribution. Within X-Windows the mouse works only in horizontal
- direction and the mapping of the keyboard is totally out of order
- (pressing the 'a', 's', 'd' keys causes numbers to appear, shift right
- produces some special character like '=' or '+' - I forgot what it
- actually was). Some time later (~30 seconds) the whole BSD-machine
- hangs and has to be rebooted.
-
- Just to make things clear: X-Windows worked absolutely all right without any
- problems before installing keycap.
-
- As a try to solve the problem, I used the supplied kernel instead of the
- one I have build from the sources after applying all necessary patches,
- but I discovered that doesn't contain the patch for reserved ports with
- NFS which is essential for us, because we have to mount part of the
- BSD system from a Sun via NFS.
-
- Has anyone experienced similar problems or has anyone an idea how
- I can get things going the way they are supposed to work ?
-
- Thanks for your help, Michael.
