I left it in because it seemed to be the default anyways, but it turns the "alt" key into "Alt" which may be undesired. Use XkbModel "pc101" As I said before, these are listed in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 I figured it out by reading the XF86Config man page and all the keyboard description files, and working backwards. Perhaps I should put a mini-HOWTO on my todo list... Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
