I've got the keyboards working with FreeBSD XFree86 just fine, with the exception of the extra hot keys. They hot keys don't seem to make any X events at all. When I launch xev, I don't get any events at all when I press any of the hot keys. Does anybody have any suggestions? Change your keyboard type in your XF86Config file from pc101 (or whatever it is set to currently) to something higher, and try xev again. I'm not sure what you should set it to, but it's another knob to twiddle. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I've tried a few, like pc104, pc105, even microsoftpro which I found in one of the config files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86. None of them (after re-starting the X server) ever caused xev to produce ANY events for those extra hot keys.
