xev is generally of too high level for keys like Fn. /lib/udev/keymap is probably better, though it is buggy. And this is the right way to swap keys on a particular keyboard, because if you use something like XKB, it will affect all the attached keyboards. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
