Help on Red Hat 7.3 Drivers


How much of a difference are there between the (keyboad) drivers in RH 7.3 than in 7.2? The reason I asked is b/c I have a keyboard that works completely in 7.2, yet doesn't work completely in 7.3? By work completely, I mean that the system can regconize every scancode sent by the keyboard (using showkeys -s). With 7.3, I am not able to use keys (kernel, Xserver doesn't know) such as F14, F15, ..., F20.

Also, how would I go about fixing this problem? I know that RH7.2 works... do I just tried to copy the drivers in 7.2 and put them in 7.3? Or is it much more complicated than that. Do I need to rebuild the kernel. I'm not all that familar with RH drivers, so I would appreciate any help/suggestions.

Thanks!

First off, make sure you picked the same or right keyboard in KDE control panel.

Then

Open terminal
pico ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 115 = F13
keycode 116 = F14
keycode 117 = F15

Save & exit.
--
pico ~/.xinitrc
xmodmap .Xmodmap

Save & exit. Run that line. Copy & paste it in terminal.

Finally in KDE control panel> Look & Feel> Shortcuts/Key binding, add the keys to specific commands. i.e. Window Operation Menu, F15 (left Windows key), apply.
