Re: [CentOS] Keyboards

 On my new Dell system, it's got a cardreader. More to the point, it's 
 got an idiot menu key... *right* next to the right control key, and just 
 where the annoying keyboard design has it cut down from the 
 oversize space bar
 The result is that just trying to type, I regularly hit the thing. Does
 anyone have an idea how to disable this forever (if y'all don't, I'm
 prying the key *off*).


See maybe showkey, dumpkeys, loadkeys and xmodmap...

If it is that bad swap out the keyboard they are ten a penny.. Maybe you 
would enjoy the revenge element of butchering the offending key :-) ...

I propose a hardware solution. Use an abundant amount of glue to
disable it :-)
