You should get about four lines of text including what the keycode is. Then, try xmodmap - << DONE keycode xxx = Control_L add control = Control_L DONE Where xxx is the keycode. If the key is on the right hand side of the keyboard, you should probably use Control_R instead of Control_L. All the other Control keys should still work. Mariusz "verba volant, scripta manent"
