I have a Microsoft Natural 4000 keyboard on this computer. If anyone is looking for a nice keyboard, I can recommend this one with one caveat: The space bar is not up to the standard of the rest of the keys -- everything else has a very nice feel but the space bar is stiff and bangs when you use it. If it wasn't for the space bar issue, this would be a perfect keyboard to type on. It does, however, have those horrible dual-function F-keys where the F-keys work normally (F1, F2, etc) when the F-lock key is on, but have different functions (Help, Undo, etc) when the F-lock key is off. I would like to reprogram these keys so F-lock state becomes irrelevant and I always have F1, F2 available. I don't need or want Help, Undo, etc. I figure the fix is to fire up xev, get the keycodes for each of the function keys when F-lock is off, then write a little xmodmaprc file to reprogram those keys to act "normal". Unfortunately, F10/Spell doesn't have a keycode according to xev. In fact, xev doesn't register any event at all when I press F10 with F-lock off. (Of course, I get keycode 76 when F-lock is on.) So it appears that F10/Spell isn't recognized by the keyboard driver (or something). All the rest of the F-keys are recognized and have a keycode when F-lock is off, with the single exception of F10/Spell. Am I just outta-luck here? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
