    Uninstalling Keytouch

    I installed Keytouch in a useless attempt to allow me to brighten my screen (but that's another thread...) and now the control keys don't work, which is a real pain. I tried a couple of files that were supposed to be my keyboard, but neither worked. I don't want to mess with it any more, but I can't figure out how to uninstall it! Help?

    How did you install it to begin with?

    I (think) I compiled it.

    Well, can you explain the process you used? Did it involve the command line and the keywords, "make or make install" or did you use the system package manager? Maybe used yum from the command line? Tell us about it because different installs must be removed differently.

    Alright, I thought it was through the command line and a tar, but I used an RPM.
