Description
when shift or CAPS key used, letters show on the keyboard as uppercase but are sent to the file as lowercase. Keys other than letters are sent the same as the shifted value as on the keyboard. CTRL a and CTRL p are sent to the file as a and p. i.e. no CTRL effect. I have not tried other CTRL values. ESC exited me correctly from vi, That is all I tried. The images used were shr-lite-glibc-ipk--20090906-om-gta01.rootfs.tar.gz
shr-lite-glibc-ipk--20090808-om-gta01.rootfs.tar.gz

Thank you for asking; However I have been trying all day to load a current version of SHR.
(I also tried Hackable but it no longer had the illume keyboard - and the xterm was unusable).
SHR I tried the files dated 20100212 for lite and 20100209 for full. I did at least 2 boots of each and in one lite I got as far as the Profile screen. in all the others i got only as far as "Language". When I tried connecting by USB it wanted a password so I was unable to look for a log.
Please note I am using the SDcard as I will not alter the flash side of the phone. especially not the booting which is a very old one. There seems no need as everything I ever load in has a kernel in /media/card/boot and modules in /media/card/lib. Other than that if you have any suggestions or a later version I will try it. With good wishes for your efforts, clare.

You can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file to allow empty root passwords in order to connect from USB. Please provide that log, thanks.

Hi, I have put the logs at http://home.exetel.com.au/claregj
Altered sshd_config to loglevel INFO
It went as far as the "Profile" selection, stopping all the time, and I think went into suspend a couple of times
.
If you would like a change of loglevel or something else please tell me and I will try it.

I can't confirm this, I'm using SHR unstable image from January 3rd and it works as expected. In vi if I press CRTL+A it displays ^A not implemented. I've tested uppercase/lowercase letters in vi and terminal and it works.

Replying to claregj:
When I tried connecting by USB it wanted a password so I was unable to look for a log.
You need to enable empty passwords(PermitEmptyPasswords?) and allow root login (PermitRootLogin? or something like that) to get it working.
Does this still happens?
