So can I. I'll fix it in a couple seconds; in the meantime you can use:
# wsconsctl keyboardN.map+="keycode 99 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal"
to fix this (N being the wskbd device number of the USB keyboard).
OR, where you have an older system and can't update yet, put the
arguments in the above command into /etc/wsconsctl.conf
i.e.
# Fix for USB keyboard keypad Del/. key
keyboardN.map+="keycode 99 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal"
Thank you heaps for the quick fix, Miod. Vous jtes l'homme!
Thanks to Richard, Renzo, Patrick as well. Without their help I
might still be wondering if I wasn't losing the plot.
In any case I am amazed that the bug has been around for years and
nobody used the keypad "." on a USB keyboard.
Oppy.
