@ packrat: apologize for the late get-back, actually the " xev" in the terminal, just as you recommended, scrolled the mouse pointer over the little white square and hit the "window" key. It did the job and although I bought a new keyboard thinking that was the issue. But I like the new green lit Razor Black Widow, awesome keyboard and I'm not even a gamer. Yes, that was the first hurdle, have been other issues I have worked out. -thanks zephyr
