Option "XkbModel" "pc101" ??

it can't work with me! they say "pc104" is the recommend for the kbd wiht winkeys.

my problem is that the Winkey only work for root! non-root can't use the winkey! i don't know where to config it.

I've been using pc101 since day 1 and never had an issue with any windows key, numpad key, F-key, etc etc....

works like a charm here. regular windows keyboard (sic)
