Solaris 10 SPARC random Caps Lock

Periodically CAPS Lock will engage. Happens while typing usually. I attempted to disable CAPS lock in the Xserver, but it still occurs.
If I log out of the Xsession, it will reset. We thought it was related to the use of our KVM, but we now connect via virtual console through the ILOM, and it still occurs.
We also have problems with the first character typed not displaying. Again, we thought it was the KVM, but still continues.
Hardware is a T4-1.

This isn't on an official Sun site, but the MD5 sums for Solaris 10 1/06 Sparc CD and DVD matched those on the iso images downloaded from Sun:

  • Caps lock comes on randomly and tab prints a letter w (IMAC)

    This problem has recently started. I press letter s and caps lock comes on. Tab key produces a w. Pressing letter w tabs acrossS the page.   Hitting caps lock produces letter s. confused. Any ideas? I have a wired keyboard.

    Does the same thing happen with a different keyboard? That would be the easiest thing to test. You don't need a Mac keyboard, any USB keyboard will do.
    If the problem goes away with a different keyboard, you need to replace yours.
    Best of luck.

  • Bug report: crazy keyboard (caps lock flashing)

    Hi all!
    I had the problem of the "crazy keyboard" and I think I understand the cause.
    Mac model: Macbook pro MB134LL/A
    OS: Snow leopard 10.6.5 with latest updates
    Problem: sometimes the caps lock button flash and the trackpad freezes.
    I read similar problems in the forum, without a solution.
    I have an admin account on my mac and I installed the software "mobile partner" to manage mobile connections with an internet key huawei e176.
    Now I have version 16.001.17.04.51 for the mobile partner, and version 4.23.03.00 for the key drivers.
    The "crazy keyboard" problem can happen with these versions and with previous versions too.
    I noticed that in "system preferences->network->advanced settings of the installed HUAWEIMobile-Modem" the drivers are set by default to generic apple modem. So I changed with the "huawei mobile connect - 3G modem" drivers but sometimes this preference automatically changes back to generic apple modem.
    When the keyboard goes crazy I see that the drivers are set to generic apple modem.
    "Crazy keyboard" appears only after installing the internet key, so I think that the cause of the problem is the automatic change of the modem drivers.
    How to solve the problem?Change the admin account, so to avoid changes?
    Thank you

    Here’s the problem as best I can explain it with the help of the “/usr/openwin/demo/xev” tool.
    With the “Caps Lock” key engaged:
    Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key WRONGLY gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Disengaging the “Caps Lock” key:
    Holding down the “Shift” key:
    Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key correctly gives uppercase (dotted) “İ” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x2a9”.
    Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Summary:
    The delivery of the keysym value of 0x49 seems to be wrong for the “Caps Lock” + “i” keys combination. (Shouldn’t it be 0x2a9?)
    I have learned that user 925353 has initiated SR: 3-5545975463 reporting this problem.

  • My macbook pro  is stuck in caps lock, among other problems

    my macbook pro (now leopard 10.6) is stuck in caps lock, no matter if the caps lock key is on or if I use shift, and windows close very slowly. I also can't erase the hard drive with my Mac OS X dvd. I can't login because my password requires numbers I can't access due to the caps lock problems, but sometimes it randomly logs me in without asking for my password.

    Which version of OS X is running on the machine? When you say that the installation DVD is 'stuck' do you mean physically stuck in the machine and you cannot boot from it?
    Unless your running Lion or Mountain Lion, both of which have Recovery partitions, I would think that you're simply 'stuck' if you cannot boot from the DVD. At this point, I would take the machine to an Apple Store or an AASP for a free diagnosis and repair estimate. If it turns out that you've a failed hard drive, of course, you can always replace it yourself.

  • Unable to use keyboard without Caps Lock on

    Hi Guys, I gave my keyboard a little bit of a clean the other day (with relevant wipes) and since then my keyboard is not functioning correctly.  It did turn itself on once or twice during the process, so I have clearly hit something I shouldn't have
    The problem I have is that I can't use the keyboard without enabling the CAPS Lock.  Without using the CAPS Lock pressing random keys, produces random effects (mainly functional things) and with the CAPS LOCK on I can type normally, just all in caps (for this I am using my desktop!)
    Troubleshooting to date:-
    Accessibility => Mouse & Trackpad => Enable Mouse Keys (off) always has been
    Accessibilty => Keyboard Preferences => Short Cuts => Restored to Default
    Accessibilty => Keyboard Preferences => Input Sources => British
    Accessibilty => Keyboard Preferences => Modifier Keys => Restored to Default
    I have a setup another user account but the problem persists in all accounts
    I have tried other applications but the problem is replicated
    I have rebooted several times to no effect
    OSX 10.9 (all updates up to date)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Oh additionally the track pad seems to be doing slighly random things ie standard run click actually brings up sub menus!

    Since no one else is jumping it I’ll suggest the general cures of
    SMC reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    and PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    You have tried quite a few cures so if these don’t work take it to an Apple Genius Bar for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.

  • Keyboard buttons not working (FN, tab, caps lock)

    i got the late 2012 imac back in january, and i'm using the keyboard that came with it.. a few days ago a couple keys on my keyboard randomly stopped working. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue, the keyboard looks perfectly fine and i havent damaged it at all/spilled anything on it.
    the keyboard came with the computer and it's only a few months old so i don't know what the problem is.
    i have my mac boot camped with windows 7, and the keys dont work on there either.
    The only thing that makes me think that it could be a hardware issue, is that when i press caps lock the light dosent turn on. I've changed the batteries at least twice and that dident seam to fix it either.
    Any help is appreciated and sorry if i posted this in the wrong section.

    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • Caps Lock LED incorrect when changing modifier keys

    Hello,
    I remapped Caps Lock and Ctrl keys via keyboard settings (they're now flipped). Unfortunately the Caps Lock LED is still being activated by the "old" Caps Lock key (which is now the Ctrl key). This means that whenever I hit Ctrl (using the Caps Lock key) the Caps Lock LED changes its status.
    This is rather annoying as it ends up being in random state and tells me nothing about the actual Caps Lock status. Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hello:
    I suggest you call Applecare with a warranty issue.  The KB has a one year Apple warranty.  I would not waste any more time trying additional things.  You have already tried everything I would suggest.

  • How to engage CAPS lock  confidence tone on keyboard

    Just forgotten how engage CAPS lock  confidence tone on keyboard. Getting fed up with typing out text only to find I hadn't noticed the "freakin' " Caps lock light is on and I have to delete it and start again!! I am sure I used to have the confidence tone engaged..just forgotten how!! Thanks in advance!! Ivor

    Now I understand the why factor. I don't type proper qwerty either but training your fingers to learn where the keys are will  help. I would also recommend working on building up confidence so that you can type without looking away from the screen.
    I can't even describe how I write qwerty, I don't really use my pinky fingers for any of the keys in the placement photo (other than shift)
    Practice practice practice makes perfect, try random stuff until you find something that works.
    Take a look at some key-remappers and move the capslock key  somewhere else.
    https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
    https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/seil.html.en
    Next, you may want to modify the keyboard input if qwerty tangles up your fingers.
    See youtube videos accordingly - http://www.tranexp.com/win/05_Finger-placement.jpg

  • MY MACBOOK ONLY WORKS WITH CAPS LOCK ON HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

    I CAN ONLY TYPOE IN ALL CAPS. IF I TURN CAPS OFF AND PRESS NUMBERS IT WILL TYPE OUT SYMBOLS, IF I HIT DELETE THE SAME WILL HAPPEN AND IT WILL TURN ON CAPS LOCK. IF I HIT THE VOLUME CONTROLS IT CLOSES AND OPENS RANDOM APPS. HELP ME PLEASE.

    Have you spilled anything on your keyboard? Sounds to me like your ALT key is stuck on. It's possible that the key is just stuck down, but if there's liquid damage, you may need a new keyboard unit.

  • EM12c: Oracle Solaris Sparc Agent unabailable

    Hi everyone!
    I have this problem. I deployed EM12C on a server (Solaris x86) and I managed to deploy the agent donwloading it with EM12c into a Solaris Sparc.
    I was able to view metrics and manage the databases on Solaris Sparc server.
    Our client refused to use the Solaris x86, and now we have installed EM12C over a Windows Server. We want to reach the old Solaris Sparc Agent but we are unabailable. I have network connectivity from the W2k to the Sparc and I reach the port. The agent is started but I cant discover it again.

  • Msi p67a-gd65 mouse and keyboard freeze - blinking caps lock.

    As the title says, my mouse and keyboard suddenly froze while I was chatting on Skype and I noticed that my system was still running. In fact, my razer mouse light was also blinking. The caps lock had a sort of sequential blink, although I'm not sure.
    Anyway, I had to use the power button to shut down the system and everything seems normal again. Does anyone know what would cause this? Is it a software issue or due to my board?
    I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

    p67a-gd65 motherboard
    Intel i7 2600K
    2x MSI 6970 graphic cards
    Seasonic SS-850HT 850W PSU
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
    ADATA S599 system hard drive
    ADESSO keyboard and Razer Deathadder mouse
    This was the first time this sort of thing has happened. I did have to replace (RMA) my PSU once before due to a random shut down issue but that was resolved. I'm really curious as to why this would happen and I'm hoping it's a software issue and not something related to the USB ports on the board.

  • Wireless keyboard caps lock is inside out.

    I have a wireless keyboard working with Mac Air.   The caps lock key is randomly on caps with the light on  -  or off with the light on.  I've checked that the Caps Lock key on the mac air keyboard is off so that the caps lock key on the remote keyboard isn't getting a different signal but that doesn't seem to make any difference.  They apparently arent' related and probably shouldn't be related. 
    Suggestions?   What's most curious is that its random and shifting back and forth. 

    Sorry...I sometimes "assume" things...dumb on my part
    PRAM=Parameter Random Access Memory - reset like this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
    SMC=System Management Controller - reset like this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Neither of those resets will hurt anything, and sometimes they "fix" odd problems.

  • Caps lock key gets stuck on

    We are using Sun Ray Software 5.2.1 and connecting to Citrix XenApp 6.5 servers running on windows server 2008R2. We have an issue where randomly the caps lock key is stuck On, and its not just the light, the actually caps lock is stuck and you can only type capital letters. The only solution we have found is to log off and then log back in for a new session and everything is good again. This doesn't work however if the users desktop is locked from the screensaver timeout, because then they can't type in their password correctly to log off the session. The only solution is for me to manually log them off within the Citrix XenApp console.
    Any ideas?

    Which citrix client are you using? Have you tried killing the sun ray session with CTRL+ALT+Backspace? The Session should restart after that and it would not involve administrative intervention.
    You could also try and disable caps lock with xmodmap if you don't need it.
    Just some ideas

  • CAPS LOCK problems

    Hello there!
    My 2008 Mac Pro 1,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8 is having problems with CAPS LOCK, but not necessarily the caps lock key. Every once in a while my computer will suddenly think the SHIFT key is being pressed, and there's no way to "unpress" it, so to speak. Everything I click and type is as if the shift key is being pressed, and the only way to fix this issue is to restart the computer. Even if I do that, there's a chance that the issue will return only a few minutes after I turn the machine back on.
    It doesn't seem that I'm doing anything in particular to trigger this unusual behavior, and it seems to be a random occurance. I do have a theory that it has something to do with the computer being used for extended periods of time, as it seems to happen more often when I'm doing a lot of video and graphics work for hours at a time.
    I did, however, add some RAM to my computer a few weeks ago, which I had ordered from crucialmemory.com.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or know what might be causing it?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Grant! Thank you for your response, but sticky keys seem to be off when this happens.
    If it helps, whenever this issue occurs and I bring up the on screen keyboard, the shift keys are displayed as permanently pressed down. This also happens when I switch keyboards, so I know it's not any individual keyboard that is causing the problem.
