Usually on a pc built for windows, or if it has a windows key, thats the 'super' key, the 'meta' key is usually Alt or Esc, and the 'Hyper' key is usually Alt Gr, though this is not often used. Your mileage may vary. The only things i can think of for your problem may be that the keyboard is not plugged in properly, though im sure youve checked this; that the X keyboard configuration file on your profile (maybe something like ~/.xconfig, though im not at my machine to confirm that) has gone funny. I hope that this makes sense. Mark
