Hi,


I've got a Octane workstation, and I would plug into it a Logitech cordless
keyboard. This is the basic one (i mean no "multimedia" keys and rolls)
The keyboard is AZERTY (I'm french).

The Octane is well configured (FR keyboard is selected) but it works very
bad !
For example :
- numeric keypad dosn't fully works (/ * - + are not correctly mapped)
- alt key is mapped on ctrl key
- Function keys are not mapped at all
- lock shift doesn't work
- etc.

I would know if there are known incompatibilities woth keyboard... And
witch "PC" keyboard do you recommand to use with the Octane ?

Regards,

Weird, SGI keyboards are made by logitech... Never had a problem with any
PS/2 keyboard.

maybe the problem is the cordless subsystem ? I'll try to get a wired

logitech keyboard to try with it...
Note that I received the Octane at my office address, and I tested it with
a Dell PS2 keyboard and I worked normally, so I'm sure the problem is with
the keyboard...
