Some of the keys may not have keycodes assigned to their scancodes. You'll need to use 'setkeycodes' to assign keycodes to them. Have a look at the man page. I'm pretty sure that your logs will contain messages telling you about keys without scancodes so checkout vt12 as you're pressing the keys. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
