Hi,
I tried commenting this entry out of my XF86Config and on reloading, the
keyboard mapping was unusable. I eventually found the return key was
now my R-alt key, and the two lower alpha rows on the keyboard were
mapped six keys to the left, amongst the random mappings on the rest of
the keyboard. I couldn't find the right combination to get to a
console and as xdm was installed, the system went straight into X
leaving me with a completely unusable system. Fortunately I'm just
using this system to learn with so I didn't mind having to completely
re-install from scratch to get around this. A rather drastic solution
though.
Any hints or tips on what should be done before enabling the X Keyboard
Extension?
Regards,
LeeE
