If You use Linux, then problem is kernel related. Almost Logitech keyboards uses two USB interfaces : 1st as normal keyboard and 2nd as multimedia keys. I think 2.4 ingnore multimedia keypress and do not send keycodes to TTY. Instead You can read multimedia keypress from event interface. So 1st normal keyboard from /dev/input/event0 and 2nd multimedia from /dev/input/event1. Current xf86 ingnore event interface. I know only one site http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/ XFree86 input from linux event interface by Zephian E. Hull. This code allow use /dev/input/eventXX as mouse and keyboard, but do not catch multimedia keys, because them have different eventXX device file. IMHO code, which read multimedia keypress from /dev/input/eventXX and push into XFree86 events, does not exist :( Aivils Stoss _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
