[Bug 366515] New: natural keyboard 4000 support
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366515 Summary: natural keyboard 4000 support Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: timmi@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com CC: timmi@gmx-topmail.de Found By: --- Since Bug 259238 is fixed, there is support for the natural keyboard 4000 at the console. I've tried to configure short cuts in KDE4 apps (and also in KDE3 apps, but from the KDE4 workspace) using the multimedia keys and it doesn't work at all. When I open "konsole", then "su" and then "showkey", there are reactions for all keys - also for the multimedia keys. But it seems that KDE doesn't take notice of this. I don't know if this is an X problem or an KDE problem. I've choosen "X.org" as component - when that's wrong, please correct it... -- 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.

I don't know what you mean with flash keys. Sorry, my english is quite bad. Should be "arrow keys" (left, right, up, down). Also "insert" and "delete" don't work.

Yes, that's still the case. I attach the output of xev when pressing the following keys: a b c Insert Delete Position 1 End "Image up" (right from Pos 1, I don't know this in english) "Image down" (right from End, I don't know this in english) left arrow up arrow down arrow right arrow a b c You asked if this is _still_ the case. Should I make an update to factory? -- 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.

I've tried xkeyboard-config-1.2-18.noarch.rpm. It works great. Thanks! The problem with the remaining 3 keys who don't work seems to be that they still have key code bigger than 8 bit: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Microsoft_Natural_Ergonomic_Keyboard_4000#Moder... showkey gives me the following key codes: zoom in: 418 zoom out: 419 spell checker 432 There's also a very small kernel patch for this problem...
However, I've still 2 questions:
1.) Should I report the missing support for nek4k in SaX2 as a seperate bug?
Yes, against kernel component. Please add me to Cc. Thanks!
2.) KDE3 aplications does still not recognize all of the multimedia keys. KDE4 applications even makes errors when recognizing that. I asume this are KDE problems and not X problems? So should I report this as KDE issues?
Which multimedia keys are not recognized by KDE? See mapping in comment #20. -- 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.

In KDE3 applications, Web, Find and most of the "function"-keys (F1-F12 in there second meaning) don't work.
It is my understanding that you need to map the keysyms to an action first. Not sure, where this can be done. Maybe in kcontrol -> Regional & Accessibilty -> Keyboard Shortcuts
In KDE4 applications, Launch1 is recognized as Launch3, Launch2 is recognized as Launch4... The calculator key is recognized as Launch1.
This sounds weird. Are you sure you get the right keysyms? Verify with xev. -- 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.

I think it will show up automatically in KDE/GNOME. For selection I mean.
