Sometimes it de[ends on how the keyboard is defined in the X config as to wether the key depressions are accepted or not. If you define it as pc105 the driver only expects 105 keys to be on you keyboard. What does your setup say? Laurence On Wed, 2004-06-16 at 10:05, Laurent wrote:

I did try that but 3 of the special keys didn't give any return. It seems as if the pressing of these keys is not transmitted to the system. The keyboard hardware works o.k. (i checked under other OS's - everything allright).

Hi there! I have a Logitech Cordless keyboard with special keys. Under 9.1, some of these don't work although they all worked with 9.0 and earlier. Where can I find out how to correct this?

Replying to the subject question. Open a terminal and type in xev and press enter, press a key and read the results. Check for keycode and the value that follows it.
