The Apollo X server can be configured to "exclude" certain keys from being recognized. This is so that only the DM sees them. In my /etc/rc, Xapollo is started with a command like: /etc/Xapollo -K /usr/X11/lib/keyboard/keyboard.config -D1 s+r- The keyboard.config file mostly contains comments and lines of the form: exclude UpBox If you comment out the appropriate lines, X will get the events you want. BTW, RTFM :-) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn P.
