hello all

i have a laptop that i plan on running slackware 10 maybe 10.2

problem is the keyboard is alittle weird.. both my control buttons dont work and thoes are the only keys. *currently have windows installed.. xp pro*

im not worried about having my control key work under windows.. but i need it for linux

on most laptops they have a function key... well mine is right next to my control key... is there a way i can make my own or modify a key map to use this function key as my control key?

if so how would i.. do i just modify a plain text file or do i have to build one from scratch


thanks all for your time!


reason this thread is here is im asking for a workaround software wise for a hardware problem
