(not Linux, but there's enough OS X users here I thought I'd mention....) Same functionality on OS X (10.3.x Panther) as you report on Linux - the N52 acts as a non-programmable keyboard. Belkin's promised an OS X configuration tool but I didn't see it the last time I looked. The default keymappings are pretty useful overall for FPS games, not quite as useful for Pro Tools. best, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
