1) You don't need to cc me, I read the list. 2) When you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it will run the script that configures Xorg.conf. It is much like a wizard which will ask a series of questions about your hardware, such as video card, mouse and keyboard. All of which Xorg uses to control your Xsession. The information available on the screen when it is asking the question should be enough to guide you to the input the correct answers. If you can't get it to work right, you can always post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here and one of the experts will explain how to fix it. The relevant section in this case is the InputDevice for your keyboard. Mine looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:metawin" EndSection See the altwin:metawin? I can't be sure that your keyboard is the same, but in most cases that setup works for keyboards designed to work with Windows (at least the English version). There are literally hundreds of different designs of keyboards, so it's impossible to know exactly what you have. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF2BnWiXBCVWpc5J4RAow2AKCAtesFG78K/qOYGPtXyD5aYK7M/ACdEtLS U9gMgYtYzl2dvVylOaHrvC4= =Avg5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
