hi, i have to Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 and i am very pleased with it  however ive got all the buttons working except:-
(With F Lock off)
Open (F5)
Close (F6)
My Favorites
Special Function keys 1-5 (at the top)
Zoom
all others fire a key code in xev
also from "cat /dev/input/event2" there is no output when i press the keys mentioned above
so i guess its a kernel problem.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Grunty |

BTW, I patched the 2.6.19 kernel using liyu's patch, and everything seems to be working fine. |

Everything is fine and msnek4k works except for one quite annoying problem: evdev behaves poorly under high CPU load, events are often repeated or reordered, so it's almost impossible to type when system is busy. Any solutionssssssssssssss?

Just a quick question: does the basic features of this keyboard work 'out of the box'? I want to plug it in and start using it right away Maybe I'll try to get the multimedia keys working at later time.

You will need to have the "keyboard" driver (and not evdev) in xorg.conf for the basic keys to work if you just plug it in. I am not sure if you need to patch the kernel for this functionality.

| Does anyone know what's going on with the wiki page for this keyboard? It's still listed as "will be updated by the end of July 2007"... |

I guess some major changes happened in the meanwhile. I have been unable to get the keyboard to work as earlier for kernel >=2.6.20.
So, the maintainer of that wiki page probably has not had the time to make complete updates.
