The June 1997 issue (38) of Linux Journal ( http://www.ssc.com/lj/ ) has an article that covers a number of linux and X related keyboard issues. Your solution may cause problems with the way Debian fixes motif Backspace and Delete. You can fix that by editing /etc/X11/Xresources. ---------------- http://www.sound.net/~wpmills/ ----------------- : W.
