Hi Michael,

Sorry for the lack of information regarding versions...so here goes:

NetBSD 2.1_RC5 (kernel compiled with the fast console option and the  
OFB_FAKE_VGA_FB option)
XFree86 version 4.40
Keyboard driver was set to "keyboard" so I changed it to "kbd" and  
rebooted. I put 'xmodmap -e "keycode 190 = BackSpace"' into  
my .xinitrc, and that seems to work just fine. as do my up, and left/ 
right arrows now :)

I guess now keyboard-wise I am just down to getting a middle and  
right mouse button.  I saw something about this, and added what I  
thought were the proper keycodes to a ~/.xmodmaprc but they were not  
working, so I disabled it. Perhaps they would work when I re-enable  
it now?

Thanks

Greg
