Hello everyone.
I've been trying to map the special keys on my keyboard (SAGER 5680 Laptop) and have come upon a weird problem. I have mapped certain keys successfully with xbindkeys but noticed that mapping the special Function keys (Fn + Something) results in the loss of keyboard input until I kill xbindkeys (this also happens with lineakd). I have discovered the cause of the problem using xev: the system only detects the KeyPress events from the special keys. Thus, the keyboard input hangs with the mapped use of the special keys as X waits for the KeyRelease event which never arrives.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Can I fake the release event by sending it myself after the desired command of the mapped keys?
Thanks a bunch.
