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 Bruce Samhaber wrote:
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,
