OS4.1 freeze after cps-lock/cntr key with NeXTDeutsch

[Daniel Boehringer]

hi,

on a new k6-2/ ausus(ALI chipset) i got two non-systematically reproducable
keyboard mouse freezes caused by hitting the caps lock key although i have
installed the NeXTDeutsch keymapping (i know about
http://enterprise.apple.com/NeXTanswers/HTMLFiles/2633.htmld/2633.html but
NeXTUSA is not acceptable for me).

also worthwile is that in singleuser mode there is a 50% chance of a frozen
keyboard.

any hint for getting the system stable is appreciated.

IFAIK the keyboard freezing is a PII 100/400 problem, or does it affect
all fast processor systems? (if so bad driver).

to my research so far it does seem to affect all fast systems and seems to be
releated to the num-lock led on the keyboard. that is freezing is not due to
a particular key on the keyboard but due to the caps lock function itself. my
workaround is to map the caps-lock function to an unused key (i always
considered caps-lock an anti-feature :-).
