Go to a terminal (Ctrl-Atl-F1) and execute 'showkey'. This gives you the key codes for the keys you press. (Also good for cleaning your keyboard as suggested in the man page.) You can then set these key codes to character codes with 'setkeycodes' in your local startup script 'rc.local'. Also have a look at xmodmap. You may not need to use it but you should know its there. As a last resort and even then probably not a good idea, you can use this program I wrote to binary patch your kernel to change how usb hid keyboard codes are translated into key codes. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/140306#140306 More then you ever wanted to know, Paul _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
