Hi folks

I have just changed from a PC running FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a P166 to a 
300MHz Celeron system running FreeBSD 2.2.8.  The new machine has a
keyboard with a PS2 connector, and some additional buttons
(Sleep/WakeUp/Power).

On this machine, when I run kde (from kdm or from xdm), then every time
I press the spacebar, the keyboard case toggles. So I get things like:

this IS the SORT of THING that HAPPENS

When it switches to upper case, the caps light stays off, and pressing
caps lock toggles the light but doesn't change the case. The only way to
get back to lower case is to press the space bar again.

This makes kde completely unusable, unfortunately, and I have had to
change over to a different desktop.

I am pretty sure this is kde 1.1.1; if not, it will be kde 1.1.

regards
Graham
