Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: console-tools
This problem affects console-tools 0.2.3 installed from apt on Ubuntu
8.04 (Hardy Heron) Alpha 6.
I want to redefine the console caps-lock to control, so I follow this[1]
tried-and-true procedure:
Here's the keymapping before the change:
$ dumpkeys |grep -i "keycode 58"
keycode 58 = Caps_Lock
Here's the command to change the caps-lock key to control:
$ echo keycode 58 = Control |loadkeys -
Now, here it is afterwards
$ dumpkeys |grep -i "keycode 58"
keycode 58 = Control Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
With keycode 58 set like this, the new control key behaves erratically.
At first it behaves like a control key, then it sometimes toggles caps-
lock, then sometimes emits random control characters, usually ^S and ^D.
