I've mapped keysyms for a multimedia keyboard with xmodmap before, so I know what I'm doing there. There's a linux driver program ( http://g15tools.sourceforge.net/) which allows you to use everything, including the LCD screen on the keyboard. Unfortunately it requires linux kernel support to work, which obviously I can't give it in FreeBSD...any ideas? Really keen to just be able to use the extra keys, dont care about the LCD :-P Bruce Let me just add to that: I've compiled g15tools and g15daemon and installed them in FreeBSD...when I run the g15daemon program i get: An Error Occured - 2 : ( Unable to initialize keyboard ) received Which I think is because it tries to load itself into the linux kernel at that point...
