You could try one or more of the following: - Driver "kbd" instead of "keyboard" - comment out the "ctrl:nocaps" line - "pc104" or "pc105" as the XkbModel - add a line: Option "Xkbdisable" "true" More suggestions are in /etc/X11/xkb/README.config. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
