I can see the events for all other keys, but not for the ones I mentioned in the first post. > Unfortunately, they probably require the Windows software to program. Of course there was a Windows CD in the package. ;) But: I thought, all keyboards make an event by any keystroke. I exspected this somewhere in the protocoll for the keyboards. Even if not assigned, the button "is there", just like the 3-6-buttons with mice. The assignment is the easy part, as you already mentioned. Is there an way to get the buttons work under X or is there no hope? Would it help to boot Windows, assign there the keys (maybe in the keyboards eeprom) and then have them under X? (I don't even know if this keyboard has an eeprom, where to set the numbers, just a guess.) > If you do see events for them, then you will have to edit the xkb files > in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb to define symbols for them.

This is what I have already done for the ones, I'm getting events, so I can tell what number they have. -- regards Thorsten _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
