USB X-keys Devices

To use a USB X-keys device in a Unix/Linux environment you will first need to convert the device to either Memory Resident Mode (X-keys SE devices) or Boot Mode (X-keys MWII devices).

These devices will still need to be programmed in a Windows environment, but once they are programmed they can be moved to your Unix/Linux environment.
