Colin On a related (?) topic Ever since moving to Xfree 4.x I have been getting the following errors: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Cannot open "/var/tmp/server-1.xkm" to write > keyboard description > Exiting Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Might some of the key mapping problems be caused by this? ie. in xterm I have to use Ctrl Backspace to get backspace to work as advertised. No big deal but I am curious. Wayne -- On-line, adj.: The idea that a human being should always be accessible to a computer. _______________________________________________________
