I've edited rc.conf and set the keymap for 'us-acentos' and SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes". Restarting the keymap service would not make windowkeys work. After playing around with loadkeys I figured that by changing the order the keymaps were passed in it would work. /etc/inid.d/keymaps load the keymaps in this order: KEYMAP WINDOWKEYS_KEYMAP if the order is exchanged the windows keys start to work again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.edit /etc/rc.conf seting KEYMAP to "us-acentos" and SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes" 2.restart the keymaps service /etc/init.d/keymaps restart Actual Results: Windowkeys did noy work at all Expected Results: Windowkeys should have worked Changing the order of how keymaps are loaded on /etc/inid.d/keymaps seens to fix this bug.
