keyboard mapping incorrect

Miles Van der Lugt — Tue, 16 May 2000 07:21:44 GMT

When I use the 3,6 or 9 on the number keypad it gives me 3/,6' and 9p the same goes for the letters. Also when I want to use hp-ux without hp-vue the display goes blank. Can someone please help me with this as I am a novice when it comes to unix.

I have a hp 715/80 machine running hp-ux 9.xx (not sure) and hp-vue.

If more information is required can you please let me know and i will try to supply it.

I am writing this on a NT workstation that is networked to the unix machine as i can't use the other machine.

Thanks for any help?

go ahead and execute a xmodap -pke . Redirect the output to a file and look at what keys are mapped to. Then use xmodmap to reassign those keys to the correct values.

For the keyboard mappings, I'd following what freddri suggested.

As for the blank screen when not in VUE, it sounds like the console path maybe wrong. Do you see anything during startup? messages etc?

If you could get 2 things that would be good :-

1. output from 'ioscan -fk'

2 This bit is harder as you'll have to do this during the bootup. During bootup, you should get the option to 'press escape' to interrupt the bootup. If you press it, it will drop to a menu. Then go into the configuration option and type in 'path'. It will show you the boot path, the alternate boot path and the console path. Take a note of the console path. If the console path is 'rs232' then it's obviously wrong. However, it most likely says 'graphics_1' or 'graphics_2'.

Let me know what is says.
