Since this is Mandrake: I figure that Mandrake's X init scripts run setxkbmap and may override your XF86Config . In mandrake 8.1 this is set in /etc/X11/xinit/fixkeyboard , which uses /etc/X11/xinit/Xkbmap and $HOME/.Xkbmap . Those files are simply places of aparameters for setxkbmap, so you can place (in either one of those): -options grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll il (or in one line, it doesn't matter) -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
