Bingo. Better yet, disable support for ADB keycodes entirely in your kernel, they will disappear in 2.5. > If so, then I'm really confused, cuz all the docs I've read say use the > _old model in XF86Config-4. You probably think 'ADB keyboard' implies 'ADB keycodes', which isn't true. The point of Linux keycodes is to have the same keycodes with any keyboard. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
