[X4U] Keyboard oddity

[Jens Selvig]

I finally resolved the backspace problem. In the IOGEAR control  
software there is a toggle for which keyboard you are using. Somehow  
my that toggle had been invoked to the wrong keyboard. I now have my  
backspace key functioning correctly. As is often the case, the  
solution was in the manual. :) The hard part for me was determining  
which manual to look in!

Later,

Jens
