Where did you find such a thing? Acer Ferrari 4005 WMLi laptop. See a pic of the keyboard here: http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/7448.jpg It has a $ sign on the 4 key and a € sign on the 5 key and those work fine. Besides those, the lower right part of the keyboard shows an up /\ and a down \/ key. The dedicated dollar key sits to the right of the up /\ key and the dedicated euro key to the left. The dedicated dollar key generates scancode e034 and works fine if you assign it a value of 166 with setkeycodes e034 166. But if you do something similar with the dedicated euro key like setkeycodes e033 205 than pressing the euro key results in printing a euro sign and than the laptop suspends. The 166 and 205 values are apparently arbitrary as nobody could explain the choice for those 166 and 205 values. Regards, Patrick
