Need help disabling the "Menu" key


For some reason, the menu key on this laptop keeps getting pressed due to some problem with the keybord, but I can't figure out how to fix it. For the moment I have used xmodmap to make it the right windows key, but this can't be a permanent solution.

So how can I completely disable this key?

You could set the keyboard to be a 102-key us in xorg.conf if you don't
need the other windows key either...

Or you could map it to nothing, and put the xmodmap in your.xsession/.xinitrc


Cheers,
Tink
