Greatful for help /Emil I understand that you have a 105 keys keyboard and you use a definition for a 104 keys keyboard. What have you in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file for the keyboard? I have this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" # Option "XkbDisable" EndSection Replace 104 with 105 and us with thw two letters for Swedish. This will solve your problems under X. If you have the same problem under the console, you need to add the definition for that key in /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz. That line is: keycode 86 = less greater or keycode 86 = less greater bar You may do that in /usr/share/keymaps/defkeymap.kmap if you have no /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file. Ionel Thank you also, problem solved thanks to norton... and of some reason no matter what p10N I used it would work... but now it's working... =)
Re: Keyboard problem
Thanks, actually, now I got a full keyboard and then some ;)

I have no idea what you're talking about 8-)
guess the name: bar.
if you go to /usr/lib/X11/locale you'll see a lot of locales for your
computer... pick one, say, iso8859-1
cd iso8859-1
and see the Compose file... it will show you a lot of these tricky codes
just in case you need for C:
| bar
\ backslash
~ asciitilde
{ braceleft
} braceright
take a look in that file and you'll see what you can do with your
keyboard 8-)

well, I don't know this keyboard... so, that's what I think you should
do:
1) run xev in a shell
2) press the key (without shift just the key)
3) read the output... find the "keycode X", where X is a number
(mine is keycode 59 for <)
4) cd $HOME
5) Create a file named .Xmodmap (debian will use it automatically when
you log in)
6) In this file write:
keycode X = V1 V2
where X is the keycode, V1 is the character printed when the key is
pressed and V2 is the character printed when shift+the_key are pressed.
A practical example:
in my keyboard, keycode = 59, and the key prints a "," if pressed and a
"<" if shift+key are pressed, so the entry will look like
keycode 59 = comma less
(to help, "," is comma, "<" is less, "." is period and ">" is greater
7) then, xmodmap .Xmodmap to test
Next time you log in, debian will load the map .Xmodmap automatically
I hope it helps you
