Brian, Location of this file depends upon your distro . For Ubuntu I found that file at: /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb I think the lines would look something like this: evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDell*:pnInspiron*11*3162:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_104=! #page up KEYBOARD_KEY_109=! #page down _______________________________________________ Linux-Desktops mailing list Linux-Desktops@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-desktops Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
