nothing registers on  the xev screen but the bacckground terminal goes 
bat shit nuts. I've had keyboard problems, could I be using two usb 
buttons that are rxing both keyboard and mouse?  Except this keyboard is 
a wired usb keyboard,  I just unplugged the mouse button and it 
dissappeared, and two buttons were plugged in so I'v now removed the one 
that did not rx the mouse. But that will not effect my dual tbird 
session started from the keyboard which is wired.

Thanks Greg.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
