ctrl l stopped clearing screen
On all my versions of linux and my previous Gentoo, ctrl l cleared the
terminal screen and very usefull too :-)

On my new machine, new keypad etc it don't work ! in atrem or
ctrl-alt-f1,2,3 ...

First thought was keyboard mapping so I checked /etc/rc.conf, I have
KEYMAP="uk"

which looks OK, @ and | work OK which in my experience go awry if you
have the wrong keymap

Second thought that ctrl on my new keyboard sends the wrong code,
apparently ctrl h dels the last character, tried it & it dels the last
character so it looks like ctrl key is working ok.

I have just noticed that ctrl l copies the last line I typed - wierd :-\

Any ideas

Cheers
Dave
