I shall have to look at that. I was looking more in depth at my issue, and I have found some solutions, I just have to take the time to figure out which will work for me. I am running Ubuntu Mate on this machine, it is my wife´s machhine so I am trying to make it as easy to use as possible I need to make all of the keys generate what the keytop says, and right now that does not happen for some important things. I do have most of the real important ones like Ñ and some of the other language specific ones. Now I will just have to figure out how to generate a file for this particular keyboard and then keep a copy for future use. Send a copy to the maintainer so he can integrate it into the IBM list.
