Wendell, My IBM T42 does not have the blue + or - on the Numlock key. I tried it anyways and all the other keys but it does not work. Thanks for the suggestion. On Saturday 29 March 2008 18:36, Wendell Nichols wrote:
Most laptops have a "Fn numlock" key combo. you will likely see a + and a - in blue or subscript on the numlock keys. Mine are on what would normally be the semi-colon and slash keys. With the keyboard in numlock mode you can use the numlock + and - key to rotate through your xmode settings. let me know if that works for you... wcn

Hi,
After some more reading on the Xorg site and modes, the keystrokes require the KEYPAD+ and KEYPAD- which are not on the laptop.
Is there anyway to map them from other keys?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have used the XF86 for many years and have always liked the 'zooming' feature of changing the screen mode on the fly with the CTRL-Alt-'+' or CTRL-Alt-'-' combinations.
I am currently running with SuSe 10.1 on both a desktop and an IBM T42 Laptop. The 'zooming' works on the desktop but not the laptop.
I am speculating that the problem might just be the keyboard on the laptop. But since I do not have a keyboard that will work to plug into the laptop I cannot debug it that way. Is there some other way to see what the keyboard is getting for key strokes?
If someone has a better explanation & fix I would like to hear it.
Thanks,
