Nope! It's on the same keyboard. The keyboard I have is
http://www.adesso.com/products_detail.asp?productid=295
I've been reading the Xkb documentation. Is there any trick I can use
with ignorelockmods to fix this? Alternately is there some way I can
make only the control key sticky? At this point, I'll take whatever I
can get.
Thanks,
