Surely so. I have X 4.0.3 from testing, and am using linux keycodes. In order to get my arrow keys working correctly, and be able to use the command key as meta in emacs, I wound up creating the following .Xmodmap = keycode 104 = KP_Enter keycode 111 = Up keycode 116 = Down keycode 113 = Left keycode 114 = Right clear mod1 clear mod4 keycode 133 = Meta_L add mod1 = Alt_L add mod4 = Meta_L and I had to add xset r 113 xset r 116 to my .gnomerc so that up and down arrows would auto-repeat. Doubtless there is some better solution, but I was not able to find it, even after trolling through ML archives and various HOWTOs. Note the arrows and such seem to work fine in console with linux keycodes. FWIW, I am running a benh 2.4.4pre3, since I like to be able to sleep my TiBook and use the mixer and such not. -raf
