Hello all,
Here's another conundrum for your collective wisdom.
Having successfully install NetBSD-1.6 on an Indy
R4600 (IP22), I have been playing around with it when
I noticed something is wrong.
I am using a standard SGI PS/2 keyboard for this Indy,
and to my surprise, when I push the ESC key (any maybe
some other keys though I cannot verify this), NetBSD
just dies and returns to the SGI System Maintenance
menu. Please excuse me if that isn't the right term.
In any case, I tried to recreate the problem, and it
happens maybe 2/3 times when I push the ESC. This
makes using programs like vi a little difficult. ;p
I suspect this is a bug in a driver somewhere, and I
have seen some posting regarding support issues for
SGI keyboard drivers, but I was wondering if this was
a known problem. If so, does anyone have a fix?
In any case, I will be submitting a PR pretty soon.
Thanks all for your time!
Sincerely,
=====
