alas, it was not to be. i think i don't understand how to configure the xkb stuff. i thought that to tell the server i have an itouch compatible keyboard that all i needed to do was this: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "itouch" XkbLayout "us" XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps" EndSection i still don't get any events from my "internet keys" though. is there something else i have to turn on or enable? the other odd thing is that the ctrl:swapcaps setting doesn't seem to work for me, making me think i really have screwed something up. bear in mind that i've been running in XkbDisable mode for years until trying this -- it's not that i just changed from "pc101" to "itouch". is there a document somewhere that fully describes the relationship between Xkb{Rules,Model,Layout,Etc}? paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 38.1 degrees) _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
