[Bug 369150] New: support for "zoom in", "zoom out" and "spell checking" at msnek4k
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=369150 Summary: support for "zoom in", "zoom out" and "spell checking" at msnek4k Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: timmi@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: --- Since Kernel 2.6.24, the kernel has a driver for the Microsoft Natural Ergonimic Keyboard 4000 (for details, see the bug 259238 which is now fixed). However, there is still a problem: the keys for for "zoom in", "zoom out" and "spell checking" still generate key codes higher than 255. In consequence, these keys don't work under X (see bug 366515). There is a (very small) kernal patch that assosiates key codes lower than 255 with these keys. You can find the patch and the description here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Microsoft_Natural_Ergonomic_Keyboard_4000#Moder... I don't have tested this patch myself, however I can confirm that only these 3 keys fail under X since bug 366515 is fixed. Is it possible to integrate this quite trivial patch into the kernel? -- 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.
