Thanks for help You're on the right track, having found the relevant part of xorg.conf. Next, you must use the 'evdev' input driver rather than keyboard and then you can specify the keyboard(s) via event numbers, as listed in /proc/bus/input/devices. If your keyboard appears twice use only the first eventX listing. You'll need one entry per keyboard. If you need more information on how you can specify keyboards precisely, look into configuraitons for 'Multi-Seat' X. Good luck, Dan Farrell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Removing the part in your conifg, I suppose. A question: Don't you want to use the keyboard anymore with X? Sven I suppose you meant the part: Section InputDevice Identifier Standard Keyboard Driver kbd Option AutoRepeat 500 30 Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout de Option XkbVariant nodeadkeys EndSection If I remove this part from my config X would use a standard configuration for keyboads connected to that computer. My goal is that only one keyboard will not work. This way I can use a daemon to process events coming from this device. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

I haven't ever tried this, but have you looked into using a keyboard section with an option similar to: Option Device /dev/input/mice but replacing /dev/input/mice with the path to the keyboard you *do* want to use (I have no idea what that path would be...)? -- R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Nice idea but after a short test I found out that this configuration doesn't work. The path to a keyboard-event ist for example /dev/input/event5 or /dev/input/by-id/kbd-id. The problem is that this device nodes create key-press-events, key-release-events and so on. I think I'll leave the special buttons on the remote control alone and only use the arrow and ok keys. -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
