[Latest on top] I have tried all of your suggestions to no effect, including pc101, Microsoft IntelliType Pro (from Dell documentation)
Rather than use dpkg-reconfigure, I have been manually editing XF86Congif-4 A few factoids to complete the description of the environment" When linux boots up, it recognizes the keyboard as: Input0: Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro on usb1:3.0 When XF86 was initially installed it posted /dev/tty0 for the mouse. When I just now changed it to /dev/input/mice per your suggestion, gdm failed to start up at all, with EE msg XF86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such device although there is in fact a /dev/input/mice Separately, this output shows (II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver -- David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jesse Hutton Here is my keyboard and mouse sections of my SF86Config-4. It's a pretty generic configuration, so may help you a little: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection For Debian, you can do (as root) 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86', and that will give you a nice configuration program. From there it shouldn't be hard to get a working system. One of those XkbModels that you tried should have worked (maybe try pc101?). Now, you probably won't get every single key on that thing to work, since many are Microsoft specific command shortcuts, but you should easily be able to get normal functionality. Another thing, if you are going to be using dpkg-reconfig to configure X, choose the least advanced level for the config questions they ask you. You will probably still need to know the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your monitor, but it will automatically choose sensible options for a lot of other stuff.
