>Organization:
JINR, LHE
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386 (need nothing else than standard installation)

>Description:

	From keyboard(4):
	``The console allows entering values that are not physically present on the
	keyboard via a special keysequence.  To use this facility press and hold
	down ALT, then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical key-
	pad, then release ALT. The entered value is then used as the ASCII value
	for one character. This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value, not
	present on the keyboard.''

	This feature don't work under 3.2-RELEASE. If this is a bug, then you
	need to fix syscons sources, else you need to fix documentation :) .

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try to enter value under syscons as described above.

>Fix:
	
	Don't know.

 Are you sure you used ALT and not ALTGR ?? I just tried in here on a -stable
 machine and it worked nicely, it also does on -current...

  I use 'lalt' and obtain bell for second and third pressed keypad numeric keys.
 'ralt' (and 'lshift', 'rshift', 'lctrl', 'rctrl' :) work as NumLock - produce
 digits with keypad numeric keys. This don't depends on used login shell. All
 syscons configs I preserve from 2.2.7, where all works very nice.
