In short `input-kbd <devNo>` gives you the current map. Redirect the output to a file, edit it to change the keys you need remapped and run `input-kbd -f <file> <devNo>`. For a reference look at this bug report: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11227 If the above is not the case then there might be another problem in sony-laptop as Matthew suggests. -- mattia :wq! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
