I did some homework after your post and realized that is a valid domain name (though apparently inactive.) I won't use it. My STFU was self-referential.

That's what I was trying to do.

You will only see the effect of these if the system is sending data to the screen. Try typing ``cat /etc/termcap'', the pressing ctrl-s to stop the flow, and ctrl-q to restart it. This is basic serial software flow control, used by terminals to slow down traffic from the system to allow the terminal to catch up with the traffic. This protocal dates back to the days of slow teletypes which ran at speeds around 110baud (10 characters per second). I think that the Scroll Lock key simply toggles this, sending alternate ctrl-s, ctrl-q to stop and start traffic. Scrolling back through the stream is a function of the underlying system, and has nothing to do with the flow of data.

Keyboard without Scroll Lock
Hi, I don't know where to post this, except from this list, so maybe someone will add it to a FAQ ;-). just for info, if you happens to buy a keyboard without the Scroll Lock key, as I did (Logitech EX110), and are missing this function in consoles, I found a solution with re-configuring the keymap (I'm probably not the first, but did not find a short solution on the web). As root: Dump the keyboard map to a file kbdcontrol -d >mykeys Change the file so "Ctrl+NumLock" will set "Scroll Lock". Find line with scancode "base" 069, or where "nlock" fills the entire line. Edit column 3 from "nlock" to "slock" The line now looks like: "069 nlock nlock slock nlock nlock nlock nlock nlock O" Edit /etc/rc.conf: keymap="/home/xxx/mykeys" #where the file is Reboot, and now "Ctrl+NumLock" will toggle the Scroll Lock bit. Before you reboot it is possible to try if it works. As root, issue the command: kbdcontrol -l mykeys -- Mvh/Brgds Harry FreeBSD mugin.localhost 7.0-CURRENT #8: i386 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
