Here's the keyboard section. Looks like I'm using pc104. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 26 |
Identifier "Keyboard0" |
| 27 |
Driver "kbd" |
| 28 |
Option "CoreKeyboard" |
| 29 |
Option "XkbRules" "xorg" |
| 30 |
Option "XkbModel" "pc104" |
| 31 |
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:toggle,grp_led:scroll" |
| 32 |
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys" |
| 33 |
EndSection |
| 34 |

The numeric keypad's keys seem to be quite totally nonfunctional. The |
| 36 |
cursor control keys do nothing in OpenOffice, emacs, claws-mail, etc |
| 37 |
(while the cursor keys to the keypad's left all work fine). With |
| 38 |
NumLock on, the keypad's numbers do nothing. |
