Didn't a patch from Fred Bacon get into on of the DR2 updates to take care of this? I forget how it worked around this problem, but I can did it up if you can't find it. > from the keys.

Does raw vs. non-raw > explain why 'a's appear when pressing capslock in X but not at the console? I think that we should figure out why it behaves properly at the console first. I remember Paul M mentioning something about that but I don't really recall the specifics. On another note Franz Sirl mentioned that a capslock (with an apple adjustable keyboard, I think) keypress generates extraneous capslock up/down events in X.
