It is stated that the function keys can be overridden using kbdcontrol -f # s where '#' is a number from 1 to 96 and 's' is a string that will be outputted. When '#' is between 65 and 96 (unassigned functions), this works. However, this does not work for functions keys between 1 and 64! >How-To-Repeat: Type kbdcontrol -f 1 "string" then click F1 on your keyboard and see that "string" is not displayed. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
