Greetings, I'm back after being unceremoniously 'bumped' from receiving messages from the list. It's gotta be that verizon.net vs. mandriva (maybe someone can create a spy vs. spy storybook not unlike the Mad Magazine paperback series from the '70s ;<> ) thing still going on. Anyway, I am currently enjoying 2006 fresh install except for home directory and with the dkms system actually working <KNOCK ON WOOD>!. However, I am experiencing a problem with using the keystroke sequence mentioned in the subject of my message.
Below I have the output from my attempt to configure the keyboard from <desktop><Preferences><keyboard><Layout Options>,special keys check box. An error message pops up and suggests executing the following commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "microsoft", "en_US", "", "compose:rwin" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "microsoft", "en_US", "", "compose:rwin" [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripheral/keyboard/kbd [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ I was able to edit the keyboard setup in mcc and the above, and get the keystroke functionally back, however when I shutdown or reboot the functionally loss returns. I don't know if this problem has been discussed, if so my apologizes. Otherwise any suggestions. TIA, Terry Terry Golightly ... tdotgolightlyatverizondotnet ...
