Re: Need to do some weird keymapping

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been researching Loadkeys, and it looks like it'll do the job. There are two things I haven't been able to find, though: 1. What Debian package includes loadkeys. 2. A list of all keycodes. > Look into loadkeys > > -Brian

Need to do some weird keymapping

Strange GPM behavior

Hmm, this is a new one. When GPM is running, the mouse will work in the console... but the mouse cursor in X freezes and won't move. When I stop GPM, mouse access is lost in the console, and the X mouse cursor comes back to life. I've never before seen GPM cause the mouse to stop working in X...
