I now have 7.1 installed and configured. Yeah! :) I just can't figure out why ctrl-c does not work in the terminal. It did in 7.0. For example I have wvdial working for internet connection and to disconnect you push ctrl-c. No go I get c. Can someone please help. I am using the default English US keyboard layout. Thanks Scarlett Scarlett Gately scarlett@excelco.com NetworkAdministrator

This is likely a KDE issue. If you are using the KDE2 your keyboard may behave strangely at times. In konsole there is a setting to change the keyboard mapping. The xfree4.xx gives me problems. I've known about this for some time, but have not raised the issue with SuSE or the KDE folks. If you are not working under these conditions there are some other possibilities. If you look in your /etc/X11/XF86Config there is a section for the keyboard. Here's what mine looks like: Section "InputDevice" Driver "keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "LeftAlt" "Meta" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "RightAlt" "Meta" Option "RightCtl" "Control" Option "ScrollLock" "Compose" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection Option "XkbModel" "pc105" This may have some bearing on the problem. There imay also be a file in /home/<UID>/.kde2 called something similar to xkbd.conf. This is created when you select a keyboard in the KDE control panel. It often gives me problems with XEmacs. I simply delete the file and all is well. I believe it is in .kde2/share/config, but I can't remember for sure. There are some more essoteric places whre key mappings can be set, but these are the places that have caused me problems. HTH, Steve

Sorry for talking to myself in public, I have my reasons, but they are personal {:-)> I just came across this: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/x1/xf86-4.0.2-5.i386_en.info It may have some bearing on the keyboard problems as well. I'm still sitting here waiting for the download to finish. I BTW do not have the problem with C-c Steve

Thanks for your help. I always seem to overlook the obvious and it turns it it was the keyboard itself that took a dump. I changed it out and viola everything works as it should. :) Thanks Scarlett Scarlett Gately Excelco Network Administrator scarlett@excelco.com
