I have a problem with both my control keys. I decided to make a linux machine. I have previously a dual boot with Linux Mint and Windows 10, now I have only Kali. The thing is, the control keys (both left and right) worked just fine but now they seem to not be detected at all. I have tried almost every solution online, and the problem for me seems to be that the keys are not detected at all.



I used xev but without any luck, they just do not have a code associated.



I've also tried running Manjaro, Linux Mint (again), Lubuntu and none of them have the keys working. It almost seems to be a hardware problem, but I think it is rather strange to affect both control keys at the same time, in the exact moment I install Linux.



[edit #1] I'm not able to remap any other key to the control keys, could this be a kernel error?

  • It doesn't produce any output. Furthermore, whenever i try to run xev and then press any of the control keys it seems to not be recognized. Every single key and touchpad button works, except for the control ones.

  • do they function in the virtual console or are they broken there too? (you probably need to use sudo chvt 3 to switch, but try Ctrl+Alt+F3 first.)

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
