List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi guys, OK, I actually have a keyboard layout that I like better than the last one I submitted. I shifted everything down one row for the most part, moved the stuff on the bottom up to the number keys on the top, changed a couple of other keypad assignments...but it's more consistent with the keypad definitions on the numeric keypad. I think I might build a kernel with that keypad so I can use right alt-q to silence the Speakup boot messages on my laptop. But I'm running into a little behavior, and I wonder if anyone has a clue what I can do about it? ("Don't press that key" is an answer I've already thought of.) The FN key on my Thinkpad A21M does not, as I mentioned, activate an embedded numeric keypad. It does do some other things (at least in a non-Linux OS). In Linux, however, all it seems to do is stick a message like Keyboard: Unknown scan code 0e 63 It's something like that, but obviously i'm not typing this on that keyboard. I tried running showkey, but it did the same thing with that particular key. Anyone have any ideas about this particular key and how I can make use of it (or at least get rid of the error message)? -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | From the pines down to the projects, Email: davros@ycardz.com | Life pushes up through the cracks.
