Hi,

I have problem how to make these 21 multimedia keys working on my Tracer TRK-21 multimedia keyboard with linux. I have read about multimedia keyboards in internet but didn't find solution for me yet. The problem is that xev shows 3 keycodes for single Keypress event and 3 keycodes for single KeyRelease with multimedia buttons on this keyboard. It makes imposible to setup it with xkb watching xev keycodes nor in hotkeys or lineakd which expects just one keycode for each key. For example pressing one of the 18 multimedia button produces the following events reported with xev:

KeyPress, keycode 106, KeySym "Insert"
KeyRelease, keycode, 106 "Insert"
KeyPress, keycode some_code "NoSymbol"
KeyRelease, keycode, some_code "NoSymbol"
KeyPress, keycode 106, KeySym "Insert"
KeyRelease, keycode 106, KeySym "Insert"

When I try for example to assign some function to key in gnome it assigns the function to "Insert" key.
If I change keyboard model for example to "Logitech Internet Keyboard" in place of NoSymbol sometimes appears symbols like: "XF86AudioPrev", "XF86AudioNext", ... and so on, but they are still between the two "Insert" events.

I am looking for help or any expirience exchange how to setup this keyboard in linux.

Regards,
Radek.
