Operating Systems HP-UX Caps lock dtterm

Ok, found the solution. The HP-UX Xlib does not support the XKEYBOARD extension (xdpyinfo). This results in abnormal behavior with caps lock and shift keys. The solution is to set the environment variable:

export XKB_DISABLE=1

and the problems go away. Smilie

Thanks,

Refer to dtlogin(1) and ttsession(1) for more information. DTAPPSEARCHPATH Used to search for Application Manager applications. Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information. DTDATABASESEARCHPATH Used to collect filetype and action definitions, as expressed in *.dt files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1), dtaction(1), dtaction- file(4), and dtdtsfile(4) for more information. DTHELPSEARCHPATH System specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information.
