Hello,
I suspect you may not have the "correct" type of keyboard
specified in your XF86Config file... I'm no expert on these
new keyboards with the funny "Windows?" key, but I
I remember seeing information a while back on the 102, versus
103, or whatever. This funny looking key might start working
(or at least generating X keyboard events) if you try some of
the other keyboard "types".
When you used XFree 3, did the emulate 3D buttons work, and
YOU were not happy with it, but it allowed paste, etc.? Or
was the SYSTEM not happy with it?
