Hi people, I just wanted to know if anyone knows how to active the M$ winkeys from the keyboard in SuSE9. If we pay the damn keys, why shouldn't we use it? :) Thanks in advance, André Maia -------------------------- Maiabox.net Webmail System

I used Lineak on SuSE 8.2 I haven't bother to re-install this since I upgraded to SuSE 9.0. However it worked fine for me on 8.2. http://lineak.sourceforge.net/ -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org

(...) It worked for me. I just thought we could activate them by editing some system file, but this is much better since it gives us lots of more stuff like OSD, etc... Thanks a lot ;) -------------------------- Maiabox.net Webmail System

What earthly use would a M$ key have in Linux? -- "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it." -- George Orwell as Syme in "1984"
An extra modifier such as <ctrl>, <alt>, <shift>, and <winkey> Perhaps for preprogrammed functions in conjunctin with function keys if that is even possible. CWSIV On Tue, 2004-01-13 at 06:32, Albert wrote:

Under KDE, anyway, there are two steps to the process: 1. Go into Yast2, Hardware, Graphics Card (!!), then under Input Devices you can specify your keyboard. In particular you can specify one with Win keys. (This step may not be necessary; try Step 2 first to see if it suffices.) 2. Now go into Control Center, choose Regional and Accessibility / Keyboard Shortcuts / Shortcut Schemes. There are several schemes that use 4 modifier keys, and the 4th modifier key is the Win key. The fact that your keyboard has keys with the Windows logo on them doesn't mean, of course, that you have to use them for any Windows-related purpose. One caveat on the above: for some weird reason that I haven't unearthed, if you happen to be using automatic login, the Win key isn't detected. (That's a somewhat obscure KDE option.) Paul Abrahams
Do you use the keys in Windows? I don't. So why worry about using them in Linux. Who needs them? Just another MS boondoggle. --doug At 14:06 01/13/2004 +0000, susele@maiabox.net wrote:
