Yes, I did some testing and I suspect it's evdev that's messing with me. I have a Logitech cordless mouse and keyboard that go through the same USB connection. The confusing thing is that it seems the multimedia keys goes through the mouse channel rather than the keyboard channel. I suspect that's the cause for X thinking my mouse has 96 keys :-) I'll try rolling back to an earlier version later today and report back. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus
