Doesn't help :( > Try showkey -s > then press delete and see what is dumped out. Post that back. Hmm... When I trun showkey -s in my xterm I get: [13:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] % showkey -s Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console zsh: 723 exit 1 showkey -s An strace shows that I don't have permission to open /dev/tty0 and /dev/console, and that an ioctl() on /dev/tty failed. When I run showkey -s on the console everything works, but on console my backspace and delete keys work like they should.. It is in xterms where they stop working. > the command dumpkeys might also help. Send the entry for delete > dumpkeys | grep -i del Same story here: [13:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] % dumpkeys | grep del Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console zsh: 743 exit 71 dumpkeys | zsh: 744 exit 1 grep del And this crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Jan 10 13:09 /dev/tty crw------- 1 root root 4, 0 Nov 28 13:45 /dev/tty0 crw------- 1 root tty 5, 1 Jan 10 11:16 /dev/console seems normal. > I have a book on all of this, but its at home.
