I just wanted to know if anyone knows how to active the M$ winkeys from the keyboard in SuSE9.
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
