BTW, there is a "Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A" keyboard, you can select with SaX2 or KDE/GNOME keyoard configurator, but since it doesn't change the layout for the F1-F12 keys, it won't help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I dis-engage the Function Lock the Function keys assume produce their Face Print on the Function Key. Example F12 - face key == 'Print", F5 - face Key is 'Open' - All the non-standard calls are O/S specific and proprietary to MS I think. Without the Function Key Lock engaged they call their face printed value. Pity the Default in OFF. Its a bit like WordPerfect 5.1 - DOS gone horribly wrong ;-) The Keys SysRq,Scrlock, Pause/Break are all standard calls - there has been no modification made to their standard usage. *The Sleep, Log Off Keys are useless. *The Mail, Web, Calculator buttons - I would have expected the Web and Mail Keys to work as I thought they would call the default application that is software configured. In the Normal Internet Keyboard they all work correctly. *The raise volume/lower volume and mute keys do not work - Not even the standard Internet Keyboard keys work either in this respect. *The 'My Favorite' key and associated 1,2,3,4,5 have an unknown use and I am not fussed. *I have no Idea what the Zoom up/down toggle switch is suppose to do and am no fussed. If you want to pursue any of the above marked keys (*) - please re-instate needinfo and now I know how to use xev I can offer you reliable info on the other (*) keys. Otherwise I am happy for you to close this bug - I just love the feel of the Keyboard - Its almost as good as the first 'real' PS2 Keyboard that came with IBM PC's of the sane name. No we all have learned something about a potential new Key that may be a standard of M.S Keyboards to come - The Function Lock Key - As I said its like good old WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS BUT horribly screwed up - Typical!

The above key translation order is accurate IF key <FK14> from above == F4 The order of the function keys are as follows, but I will reply very soon with F1 - F12 order is HELP,UNDO,REDO,NEW,OPEN,CLOSE,REPLY,FWD,SEND,SPELL,SAVE,PRINT The // Control Selection order is all wrong of this keyboard - Its the same as my Microsoft Internet Keyboard on other PC's where all the special keys work perfectly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The output you requested is attached. Please not the following 1. Cursor Movement with mouse to establish correct focus has added to the output. 2. There is NO output from the function keys when F-lock is NOT engaged and F1-F12 depressed. 3. You will see output of codes when F-lock Key is activated - this is not of any value to us here. 4. You will see re-try to correct focus again of Function Keys without F-lock Key Engaged and F1-F12 depressed. 5. Considering that we have 16 other type keys to correctly identify on the keyboard, one of which is a Zoom Rocker switch AND that Keyboard comes with a mouse with 5 buttons including wheel depress but not including wheel movement it may be worth purchasing Microsoft Keyboard Business Package you end.
