I need help with keyboard buttons (compaqeak8)
I think I posted this in the wrong thread earlier...
I've been ripping my hair out trying to figure this crap out.
Someone help... I have a Compaq Easy Access Keyboard (8 key), running under PCLinuxOS.
I have xorg-x11 6.8.
uname -a prints:
2.6.16.27.tex1.lve #1 Mon Jul 31 15:59:12 WST 2006 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) unknown GNU/Linux
in KDE, I set the keyboard option to my keyboard.
In xorg.conf, I have the proper keyboard layout (compaqeak8).
I can't get khotkeys working. I don't see it on the menu, and if I type it in, nothing happens. at all.
I did, however, set up lineakd (Linux Easy Access Keys Daemon) with the proper options. However, the keycodes are all over 127 in the defs file. I can fix that on my own after I map the keys though.
I have a setkeycodes issue... It won't let me map anything above 127. However, I don't know which keys are being used by the keyboard...
I do know that, after I sort this whole thing out, that I should put the setkeycodes in the rc.local file so that it runs automatically at startup. My problem is figuring out what to set the keycodes to.
I've been doing this forever and I can't get it. I have every other piece of hardware working nearly perfectly (DRI included). Once this is done, I can get this PC shipped out to my pastor. In other words, the sooner the better!
