 |
|
I read this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chrome_OS_devices#Hotkeys and trying to get function keys work in Gentoo (Systemd) + KDE Plasma on Acer C720 Chromebook using xkeyboard-config.
According to that page, I just need to run
| Code: | | $ localectl set-x11-keymap us chromebook |
Screen brightness and audio keys are working now.
But Alt_R + Backspace for Delete Key not work.
And also Alt_R + Search key for Caplock key not work.
Every function keys combining with Alt_R key are not working now.
chromebook section in /usr/share/x11/xkb/symbols/inet file is here:
| Code: | xkb_symbols "chromebook" {
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
key <FK01> { [ XF86Back ] };
key <FK02> { [ XF86Forward ] };
key <FK03> { [ XF86Reload ] };
key <FK04> { [ F11 ] };
// key <FK05> { [ F5, F5, F5, F5 ] }; // Overview key
key <FK06> { [ XF86MonBrightnessDown ] };
key <FK07> { [ XF86MonBrightnessUp ] };
key <FK08> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
key <FK09> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
key <FK10> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
key <BKSP> { [ BackSpace, BackSpace, Delete ] };
key <UP> { [ Up, Up, Prior, Up ] };
key <DOWN> { [ Down, Down, Next, Down ] };
key <LEFT> { [ Left, Left, Home, Left ] };
key <RGHT> { [ Right, Right, End, Right ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Super_L, Super_L, Caps_Lock, Super_L ] }; |
As the chromebook section shows, I should have those function keys combining with Alt_R are working.
But not. |

HAve you checked your kernel? have you rebuild your kernel with anything which may be related as module?
afaik chrome books needs speical kernel or userspace, there was a topic here several weeks ago, which pointed to some external repro. /gibhub or something ...
HAve you checked for that?

nope.
without proper kernel settings / software which works with your firmware you won't see that

Have you checked gentoo wiki before?

I have checked those links first three result with Google search.
They are not very helpful for post installation problem and most of them are about distros with pre-compiled kernel.
So not much post about kernel configuration for ChromeOS.
Anyhow, I am successfully running Gentoo on this Acer C720 Chromebook with my custom compiled kernel except some graphic glitch and small problem.
Now, I am searching and testing things in kernel for better supports.
I will report back soon. |

Have you checked github / google for something specific for chormebooks. I had a few weeks ago a topic with specific software for chromebooks.
systemd and plamsa is problematic. I will not discuss this anymore. |
