Thanks again!
Does this happens both internal keyboard open and closed? Virtual kb works also so that you press down shift and then you get caps (kind of like caps lock)

Yep, just tested it and it is the same with the internal keybaord open or closed. On a side note, the fix I posted does mess up the internal keybaord so that the blue symbol key no longer works :/ I guess I will try the same fix on the setxkbmap command for the internal keyboard and see if that works. Maybe on my setup both need that.

I will be ecstatic if someone figures out how to make the watcher script launch at boot!

Just put the script under upstart ? Or was producing the upstart script the question ?

attila77: the script crashes when put in upstart. Python can't seem to start -- not finding its libraries. Maybe I'm starting the script too early, before Python is configured?

I explain the problem in more details earlier in this thread.

Sorry I am not so verbose; my Internet is extremely limited at the moment.

I can confirm that Nokia349's method works fine for my keyboard, and it also works well for Easy Debian's LXDE on DISPLAY :1 so I will include it in the next version.

I want to wait a bit before releasing the next version, and see if Attila can figure out why the watcher script isn't working. If anyone can figure it out, it would be him!

I'm using my keyboard right now, and boy I wish MicroB worked with the mouse...

Sorry, am kind of on-off in this thread. I could never get it to work with my Apple Wireless kbd properly so I lurk occasionally to see whether a solution pops up... Will read back, probably, as you say, you're getting called before the python binds are up.

... and this is one of the reasons I'm slightly reluctant to experiment, as my trusty N900 is my only link to the world and I have no way of flashing it should anything go awry (and if I loose access to google translate or Ovi maps, I'm done for ). Should have a proper linux box and internet soonish, and then hacking can resume
