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
