/etc/kbd/remap? I don't have that file installed. (I don't have the 'kbd' package installed. I have 'console-tools' installed.) I thought you were talking about /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz. Sorry. My bad. You were clear enough about it in your original posting but I didn't read it correctly. > # This sed script is run across the dumpkeys output to remap keys on the > console Since that sed command changes a input keymap file into a modified keymap file it would make sense to look at the input and make sure it has a line "keycode 58 = Caps_Lock" in the input that can be transformed to the desired output. I suspect that it is not in the input and therefore cannot get converted to "keycode 58 = Control" and therefore not getting configured as you desire it. I am guessing that the input file is either empty or minimul and this is defaulting to the kernel map. My own /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file contains a key assignment for all keys on my keyboard (which probably would not be suitable for other keyboards) including the following line: keycode 58 = Control Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
