First make sure that you’re supported by running:
zboard-config –checkZboard

If that says it supports it add the following line to the bottom of zboard.conf:
WoW.exe=gDefault

If the application exe is not WoW.exe (I.E. You’re not using WINE) set it to what ever it is.

Ah, yes… the functionality doesn’t exist to toggle between the numpad and the other function keys. I’m going to right myself a note and hopefully I’ll boot into linux and add the functionality then release a new version.

Feel free to prod me at my e-mail address if I don’t respond with another comment in a day or so.

Hey, nice work on getting some of the functionality back for this keyboard. I’ve been using it with linux for a while and I had pretty much given up on using the numpad or the red keys. There is one nuisance with the numpad tweak, though… Maybe it’s just for me, but I use the home and end keys quite a bit when I type for coding or chatting, whatever… Shift + home (and shift + end) usually selects a line of text, but with the xmodmap tweak this no longer happens. It doesn’t matter if numlock is on or off. Any suggestions to restore this functionality and keep the usage of the numpad?

No problem.

The idea is that the program turns the redkeys on and disables the number keys when in a game, then when the game closes, switches them back.

Thank you so much for this handy program!

The red keys don’t seem to work at all and the red down key is a slash (fedora core 7). I don’t need them anyway.

Anyway, it is so very nice to be able to use my number pad again.

Not that I know of, I think you should contact Ubuntu.
