 Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2004 7:01 pm Post subject: Multimedia keyboard and Linux 2.6 |
 |
|
Since I have upgraded to Linux 2.6 I have the following problem. I use a Logitech wireless keyboard with a bunch of multimedia keys. Most of them work, but there is a button to toggle between the F1-12 keys and an additional set of special function keys (e.g., forward, back, play/pause, stop audio) and these do not. In /var/log/kernel/current I get messages like the following when I press the keys:
| Code: | Jan 8 21:06:10 [kernel] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xc4 on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 8 21:06:11 [kernel] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xc4 on isa0060/serio0). |
The keyboard is USB but is plugged in through a PS/2-to-USB adapter since if I plug it in directly none of the multimedia keys work. This problem did not exist in 2.4. Is this a known issue? And if so, is there a way to fix it? |

| I plugged the keyboard directly into the USB port and still get the same problem. The problem with all the function keys not working when the keyboard wasn't using the PS/2-USB adapter must have been specific to 2.4. |

Yes, assuming the kernel recognizes your keys. If you close lineakd, do you get any output from all multimedia keys using showkeys -s or xev? |

| so no fix for multimedia keys :-\ seems slightly primative to a basic mind. |
