[opensuse] Microsoft Office Keyboard
I am trying to configure Microsoft Office Keyboard. I have tried simply choosing it in YaST's Keyboard Layout and 3rd party lineak and keytouch (which is better) but can't get the scroll and most of the shortcut-keys to work properly. Also the reaction to cut/paste is annoyingly delayed. How to configure this keyboard to work with openSUSE 11? -- skx, http://skxpl.eu.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How to configure this keyboard to work with openSUSE 11?
I have tried to get the scroll working, along with the application switch keys, but they don't send events to xorg. If you run 'xev' in a terminal, then try the keys on the keyboard you will get the keycodes that are sent to Xorg. The special keys on the Office keyboard don't send any events. I did once install KeyTouch which has a definition file for the Office keyboard, but I couldn't seem to get anything extra to work. YMMV. Let the list know if you do get anything going.

Some additional keys work with keytouch (mail, browser, cut, copy, paste) but not the scroll.

I know the scancodes: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-6.html but don't know how to get the system to make use of them. Is there any useful software for that? -- skx, http://skxpl.eu.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
