lineakd, hotkeys, acme and a bunch of others are good for getting the multimedia keys working under X, it won't get them working in the terminal and I am not sure if its possible. The function keys should also work in the terminal as they should be standard keys unless microsoft did something really unconventional (when setting up the keyboard for the console I believe that there is an option for a microsoft natural keyboard, but also I don't think it will give you the multimedia keys). Another way in X which is more work and won't give you the osd, but will save you running a daemon in the background is to configure xmodmap. > > TIA > > James > > -- > James Sinnamon > jps at westnet com auStralia > ph +61 412 319669, +61 2 95692123, +61 2 95726357 > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
