Yesterday I bought a new 108 key keyboard which has a row with <Power><Sleep><Wake> keys right below the row containing <Delete><End><Page-down> and was wondering if anyone has figured out how to access them from X. From searching the net and grepping through the xkb configuration files it appears that I will have to write my own keymapping configuration files (please correct me if I am wrong) and I was hoping someone had already done this. (Actually, their location is real lousy and I keep hitting them instead of the <Delete><End><Page-down> keys, so I will probably just map them to be a copy of the row above :-) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Have you yet figured out which keycodes they send (including the cases where they're shifted with Ctl, Shift, or Alt)? If you haven't, try firing up xev (it detects X events) and pressing the keys to see what X thinks they are doing. That's all the help I can give, I'm afraid.
