 Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2006 7:08 am Post subject: No Extra keys working on Keyboard |
 |
|
I'm having issues working with my Logitech keyboard.
Before I upgraded to xorg 7.0 I had limited support for the extra keys on my keyboard. Its connected via USB, and its not an option to connect it via PS/2.
I can't even pickup the scancodes for it in xev, I was recently playing around with my new z800i and its BT HID remote, it sends the same keycodes as the logitech kb, and it works fine in KDE once I setup a keyboard with the right buttons.
I have a feeling this maybe a kernel or xorg driver problem, not sure its odd that X gets the keycodes from my phone, but not the ones from my keyboard

I was going to post this as a new message, but I noticed this message and as it's exactly the same problem as I have, I decided to add mine to it. I hope that's not a problem, if it is I will erase mine. Sorry if you thought it was someone posting a solution. At least this way the message gets bumped.
Here's my explanation (a bit longer, but the same problem):
I recently upgraded to the new modular X server, and everything is ok except one thing. I have a Logitech Wireless Desktop, which includes a wireless multimedia keyboard and a mx-700 wireless mouse. Before upgrading, I managed to make them both work, the mouse with all its buttons and the keyboard with its multimedia keys. The mouse was the most difficult to get working before the upgrade, the multimedia keys of the keyboard worked out of the box with the kbd driver. Now after upgrading, it's the other way around. The mouse works perfectly with the evdev driver, but the multimedia keys of the keyboard stopped sending events.
I tried with the kbd driver and the evdev driver, and with the evdev driver I tried different /dev/input/eventX devices, but no luck. Right now, my keyboard works without multimedia keys with the following configuration (which worked before the upgrade):
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard Logitech Cordless"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
EndSection |
With the evdev driver, the following configuration works:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard Logitech Cordless"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
EndSection |
In both configurations though, none of the multimedia keys report anything using xev.
I have read countless tutorials, but most concentrate on the mouse buttons or are "pre-modular". It worked before, so I know it should work now too, but I can't seem to find out how.
I read something about that the problem could be that the multimedia keys are on different event number than the normal keys?
Here's the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices:
| Code: | I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"
P: Phys=isa0061/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=40001
B: SND=6
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50b Version=2100
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:10.1-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=kbd event1
B: EV=120003
B: KEY=10000 7 ff800000 7ff febeffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: LED=1f
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50b Version=2100
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:10.1-1/input1
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=kbd mouse0 event2
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff 0 0 1878 d800d100 1e0000 0 0 0
B: REL=103 |
As you can see, there's two places where kbd is mentioned, with event1 and event2, but if I use any of these two as the Device in the configuration, X doesn't launch and the computer hangs.
I've got the following versions installed:
x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.1-r4 (X Window System Version 7.0.0)
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.0.0.5
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.0.1.3
and the kernel has evdev enabled:
grep EVDEV /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y
If anyone knows a solution to get the multimedia keys working, or has any tips as to what I could try, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance for your help! |

Actually that is almost exactly the same problem as me, I have the Logitech MX Duo set, with the MX700 and the Cordless Desktop Elite Keyboard.
You basically described the same problems I have.
So thats 2 of us now, the must be more, so we can sort out this problem

I have a little bit different problem after upgrading Xorg to 7.0

here is my orginal post:

After upgrading Xorg to 7.0 some (2 of 7 exactly) multimedia keys from my logitech keybord 'stopped' working.
I'm using kde and when I configure my mm keys they seems to be fine, new functions are set to keys but when I'm trying to use them , 2 keys do nothing. Kde sees them, confugure them but then they don't work. The same thing is under fluxbox.
any ideas? |

It seems lots of us have this problem, but nobody has any solutions.
Has anyone filed a bug yet?
If so maybe we should

I also have the same problem, and no solution unfortunately.
I have done some testing, mainly trying to use evdev for both the the mouse and the keyboard with no better result. However, I found something interesting when cat:ing /dev/input/event0 to see if the keyboard generates any data, and it turned out to only generate events for all normal keys. None of the multimedia keys generate anything through evdev. This was done without starting X. |

This has got to be a bug. I believe it has to do with the fact that the layout stuff has been redone in Xorg 6.9 / 7.0. There's a workaround that works for me - it seems if you run setkbmap *twice* then the model is recognised:
| Code: | paul@daedalus ~ $ setxkbmap -model microsoftpro
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
paul@daedalus ~ $ setxkbmap -model microsoftpro
paul@daedalus ~ $
|
When I do this my multimedia keys start working again. |

As far as i'm aware this is a problem with the kernel usb keyboard driver, which doesn't recognise the scancodes outside of normal ranges. My LX710 combo only works with around half of the multimedia keys. There have been patches for specific keyboards, but the problem still exists. I trust one day they'll fix it, but who am i to complain, heh.

W should file a bug report with the upstream kernel developers. I did that once, and they re-did the xbox controller drivers, maybe they'll do something about this too?
