I don't believe this was your mistake: IIRC I *never* had a working notebook keyboard (DE) on Debian after a fresh install .. :) .. If it's just your keyboard on X that does not seem to work, you might let people know what keyboard layout you have: qwertz or qwerty, French, Italian or English, etc. ... this way people could be able to send you their .xmodmap file that you can test/load with a 'xmodmap .xmodmap' (w/o the quotes) I'm no sure whether with a recent X the following notes are still helpful: "How To Set Up Your Keyboard For X": http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com/foolinglinux.html#keyboard HTH Best Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer: /ICQ: 286585973/ + + + /AIM: crashinglinux/ http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer Key ID: E3037113 http://keyserver.mine.nu/pks/lookup?search=0xE3037113&fingerprint=on -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
