using xmodmap :) also, you can do some creative file copying in the /etc/xkb directories, using the ca and ca_enhanced keymaps (? or are those key symbols? whatever) and setting your X86Config(-4) to use macintosh, then ca, then re-map any others with xmodmap if need be. as a base i used the PC-105 kbd map, then edited some of the keys for my ca_CSA ADB keyboard layout. oh btw, the "racetrack" key is called either apple key or command key. eric > > --Shawn > > >
