Hi Ahmed,

No cigar yet sadly. Installed as instructed and ran command. Below is screen dump of pressing a few keys etc and going back to command prompt:
----------------------------------------------
Setting up evtest (20051019-9) ...
root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# sudo evtest /dev/input/event8 > ~/evtest
ghnm,^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[D
     
^X
^X^C
root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# 
-------------------------------------------

Sadly, there was no file output to my home directory called "evtest".
Please advise.

Cheers
