Hi there,
I've got some problems with my notebook, a Sony VAIO TX1XP (called TX670 outside Europe).
The most important things (for me) are working quite well, as I describe here, but there are some problems which could maybe get solved with your help.
My main problem is that there are some extra media-buttons(av-mode, play/pause, stop, prev, next, eject, vol+, vol-) and I can only get play/pause, stop, prev and next to work via xmodmap. The av-mode button and the buttons for vol+ and vol- give the same event and eject doesn't give any event at all. Also the Fn-key (or combinations with it) doesn't give a event.
I can however get some events by doing
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/event4 |
but I don't know how to make use of them.
Interesting is that the LiveCD of Ubuntu 5.10 catches this keys without any extra work and seems to talk directly to the BIOS, cause I can change the brightness by presing Fn+F5/F6. Under Gentoo I need sony_acpi and sonypi and can only do it via
| Code: | | echo {1-8} > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness |
.
Further more, the notebook has 2 cardreaders built-in, one for Memory Stick and one for SD/MMC-Cards, both don't work under Gentoo, but do work under the so-called Instant-On-Mode, which is a Mini-Linux modified by Intervideo to play media from the dvd-drive or the cardreader(s).
Any help with this problems would be very much appreciated, for reference here are some of my configs, if you need something else, please let me know.
cheers and thanks in advance,

*BUMP* again
Someone at least able to tell me how to use the keyboard via the evdev? Or a good link?
Would this fit better in another category?
cheers,

Regarding your card reader: You will probably have to enable the option CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN in your kernel config. Also the udev rule should contain the "all_partitions" option...
...like this:
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd*", SYSFS{model}="Flash XL MMC/SD", SYSFS{vendor}="Medion ", NAME{
all_partitions}="usb/sd"
Hope that helps. |
