Thank you for the reply! I'll forgive you for not knowing enough about FreeBSD. *grin* I have been struggling looking up things along the lines of which you speak above. Not knowing the history is somewhat of a road block, but I think you are onto something. I have a friend with similar setup who ran the same setxkbmap(1) that I attached to my email. Instead of "base" for "rules" he had "evdev" and his setup works fine (keyboard plus xorg/x11). I have "libinput" in my "InputClass" sections of my xorg config file in the /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory. It is unfortunate that this stuff is still in the mix and able to let dummys like me stumble into a confusing situation. :-( Thanks again. Have a great day! -- William Bulley E-MAIL: w...@umich.edu <w...@umich.edu>
