Hmm. That it only works on display :0 seems like a bug. A way to work around it would be with xmodmap. If you run xev, it will show you all of the X events that it sees, including keypresses. That'll give you which keysyms or keycodes to switch when using xmodmap. Put these into a file .Xmodmap: keycode 116 = Meta_L keycode 64 = Alt_L Then run xmodmap .Xmodmap and see if that helps in X. Those keycodes are correct here, but I already have Alt and Meta properly done on my original iBook. Use xev to get the keycodes of your keys. BTW, what kind of keyboard is it? (US, French, etc...) > Also, couldn't yet get the console right :(... Yeah, console keyboards and X keyboards are different beasts. 1. Select keymap from arch list 4. qwerty 32. US american 1. Apple USB Then you'll see that 'mac-usb-us' is installed. Do you have something else? Frank
