 |
|
I'm trying to use evdev as a mouse and keyboard protocol in X. Now everything is nice and ok except for one thing. The key with on it doesnt do anything under X. It doesn't print the appropriate characters. It does respond to xev though. Here is my keyboard section in xorg.conf: | Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Dev Phys" "isa0060/serio0/input0"
Option "Dev Name" "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "ee"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection |
Hope anybody knows the answer to the question, how can i get that key to work 
Thanks in advance! |

The broken key in xev creates a keycode of 7. Now it would be thinkable to bind it with xmodmap, but the list starts from 8 
Does anybody know of any solution to this? Take a wild guess. Anybody? |

i am thinking of switching to a dual-user xorg setup. which will involve running evdev.
however non-functionality of such keys would render things unusable. is this problem still accurate?
tnx,
