Sorry for the late reply, but this issue is still present and AFAICT it _is_ a bug in directfb. The issue is trivial to reproduce with the Graphical Installer: * boot a current CD image with 'installgui' * when the first dialog shows, use ctrl-alt-F2 to switch to a shell * cd /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty * gunzip fr-latin9.kmap.gz * nano fr-latin9.kmap - for keycodes 42 and 54: s/Shift/CapsShift/ - save and exit * use ctrl-alt-F5 to switch back to the installer * select any language and country * select the French keymap! * allow the installation to proceed to network configuration, you should get a text entry box * try entering any text and see that the shift key does nothing at all; caps lock will work * use ctrl-alt-F3 to switch to the second shell [1] * try entering any text and see that the shift key _does_ work [2] As the shift key _does_ work in a text console, but not in a D-I dialog under directfb, my conclusion is that this is a bug in the input processing in directfb. Cheers, FJP [1] If the console seems dead, use <alt-left> <alt-right> to activate it; this is a recent minor D-I bug that we haven't traced yet. [2] AFAICT the "disable caps lock when shift is pressed" does not work perfectly there either, but that would be a separate BR. The issue "shift does not work at all" for directfb is much more serious.
