Hi all,
I have a Logitech Access keyboard, model Y-SR34. There a couple of extra multimedia keys provided which i am trying to configure.
Unfortunately, only some of the keys are getting recognised but there are two keys which do not give any scan code in xev.

The keys are for "Messenger/SMS" and "Webcam", is there any way i can get these working in xev. I have already tried lineakd and khotkeys but if there are no scancodes present, these apps cannot do anything.

My input section in XF86Config looks like this

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"

Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "logicdn"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"

EndSection
-----------------------------------------------------------------

any ideas?

Thanks

You sure you got the right keyboard model in xkbmodel? According to what you have there, the keyboard should be "Logitech Cordless Desktop Navigator"

Here, from /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst:
Code:

  ltcd          Logitech Cordless Desktop
  logicdit      Logitech Cordless Desktop iTouch
  logicdp       Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro
  logicdpa      Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro (alternate option)
  logicdpa2     Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro (alternate option2)
  logicdo       Logitech Cordless Desktop Optical
  logicfn       Logitech Cordless Freedom/Desktop Navigator
  logicdn       Logitech Cordless Desktop Navigator
  logidak       Logitech Deluxe Access Keyboard
  logiik        Logitech Internet Keyboard
  itouch        Logitech iTouch
  logiitc       Logitech iTouch Cordless Keyboard (model Y-RB6)
  logiik        Logitech Internet Keyboard
  logiink       Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard
  itouchin      Logitech iTouch keyboard Internet Navigator


Maybe you want "logidak"?

cheers...

Actually, my model does not even exist in the list. I checked the photographs of the keyboards in lineakconfig and logicdn is the closest i have found. It has the SMS key in it.
Btw, is it possible to define a new keyboard on my own?

Thanks
