Cheers Thx for the posts, i did what said and put this in my .xinitrc
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-box &
but i still cant get the remapped keys to start up when i boot. is this a format problem, or am i missing something. i am using a harddrive install

Xmodmap only works with XFree86 in DSL.
If you're using the Xvesa X-server that comes with DSL it should not work. You either have to install the full XFree mydsl package and configure it, or if you want to use Xvesa, look at how to setup console keyboard as this is what Xvesa uses.xmodmap works fine with Xvesa. I use it to set up my windows keys.
mi007kes: Do you have a ~/.xmodmap-box file? I don't see you mentioning anything about what you put in this file.Next Page...
