JD\> JD\> HTH, JD\> Ray Hi, I tried commenting this entry out of my XF86Config and on reloading, the keyboard mapping was unusable. I eventually found the return key was now my R-alt key, and the two lower alpha rows on the keyboard were mapped six keys to the left, amongst the random mappings on the rest of the keyboard. I couldn't find the right combination to get to a console and as xdm was installed, the system went straight into X leaving me with a completely unusable system. Fortunately I'm just using this system to learn with so I didn't mind having to completely re-install from scratch to get around this. A rather drastic solution though. Any hints or tips on what should be done before enabling the X Keyboard Extension? Regards, LeeE -- http://www.spatial.freeserve.co.uk
