Hi.

I bought my self this awesome (IMHO) keyboard. Typing is pure pleasure now :) I never used media keys - preferred fasted shortcuts - but just for fun I wanted to configure these. I got funny results. I used two methods - one involving xev and the other using keytouch. The list below shows the mapped keys:

Code:

                        xev                     keytouch
aeroSwitch              -                       -
zoomIn                  -                       +
zoomOut                 -                       +
controlPanel            -                       -
photos                  +                       +
music                 +(!?)                    +(!?)
mediaCenter           +(!?)                    +(!?)
calculator              +                       +
word                    -                       +
excel                   -                       +
calendar                -                       +
aKey                    -                       -
bKey                    -                       -
cKey                    -                       -
browser                 +                       +
imClient                -                       +
mailClient              +                       +
webSearch               +                       +
battery                 NA                      NA
eject                   +                       +
prev                    +                       +
next                    +                       +
stop                    ?                       +
play                    +                       +
mute                    +                       +
volUp                   +                       +
volDown                 +                       +


As you can see keytouch did help. But there are still some missing keys:
- aeroSwitch (as i called it) which on windows probably calls the fancy window switching is not mapped at all
- controlPanel (as it looks) is also not mapped (maybe it calls the keyboard config program or something, so it's not supposed to work)
- aKey, bKey, cKey are not mapped

Maybe I could live with that, but one thing keeps me awake at night: the music and mediaCenter keys have the same keycode! They obviously have different functions, but here they are undistinguishable!

I'm beginning to think there's some driver missing on a lower level, like the kernel. Any ideas on the subject ?
