I wonder if my problems remapping the Caps Lock key have something to
do with this issue.  I've remapped keycode 58 to Control_L for the
console, but this has little effect.  Caps Lock is nullified, but the
key doesn't function as Control_L.  Nevertheless, showkey and evdebug
show key 58 getting pressed and released.  It's a similar story for
xorg & mol.  Various tools tell me Key 58 is getting pressed, but
Linux can't seem to do what it should with those keypresses.  Other
key remappings work fine, and the OS X remapping also works.  This is
on the Powerbook 6,8 1.5GHz G4 12" with Canadian French ADB keyboard.

1) you could still pass it down

2) While the ability to customize mappings in weird ways is cool for
0.1% of users who are "l33t", it's imho totally useless if the remaining
99.9% of users end up by default with a non-working map

3) guess what ? that is the case now (non working map)

4) it sucks big time to need different maps depending on wether your
laptop has the ADB or the USB version of the keyboard

No, I use it and I can not say if it works, but I have not the problem
like without and I do not have the problems like with mouseemu.

Why would this be a good idea?

Disadvantage: Not passing fn-key presses to the X-server would prevent
users from having their own mappings for fn-something combinations.

Afaik, current -git does emit KEY_FN. It might not be in the X.org
default keycodes, but that's a userland fix I suppose...

On the other hand, "Fn" is handled in hardware for ADB keyboards and by
the kernel (simulating hardware) afaik, in OS X, and I suspect it might
be a good idea to do the same, that is, have a translation map of the HW
keycodes when Fn is pressed in the kernel driver.

It may require some politics to get accepted by the input layer
maintainer though.

Well, it should send a KEY_FN to userland, but I don't have such a
keyboard to test. I don't understand the point of your patch.

I did not try 2.6.15, but with earlier kernels pressing "fn" was noticed
neither by xev under X11 nor by showkeys on the console.  Therefore you
cannot map fn+something combinationsto anything useful, neither under X11
nor on the console.

On PowerBooks the usual combinations to get pageup, pagedown
etc. involve the fn-key and thus you have to do either without pageup,
pagedown, home and end keys, or at least use key combinations which
are different from the MacOS ones.  Using, let's say, mutt under these
conditions can be quite a challenge.

I hope this helps,
Jochen

PS.: To answer the question you did not ask: the thing which is
"working" is (according to rumours, see the list archives), that with
an unpatched kernel and some super-secret (not yet in CVS?) versions
of Xorg you seemingly can get keyboard events from the fn-key under
X11.

Can you be more precise ? What is not "working" with the existing code ?

This patch is needed to get the fn-key working on powerbooks like

debian sarge on new iBook

Hi,
I'm new in debian and last week I bought a new iBook G4.

with
pbbuttonsd_0.6.6-3_powerpc.

That's what I thought. So there is no real need for that function in
pbbuttonsd anymore (maybe never was), because mouseemu is much better
in doing it. Thanks for your comment.

But I don't use gphoto2. In fact, I have no digital camera. The problem
must be somewhere else. I do have libc-i686 installed, though (which,
AFAIK, has NPTL enabled). I don't know if that is a possible cause for

-2 did autoload the evdev module for me, -3 doesn't anymore. Both create
the appropriate devices though.

Should't udev watch for device open syscalls on /dev, and load the
necessary modules? Doesn't work with i2c-dev and evdev for me...

It seems to be a "known" bug on gphoto2. The same thing occurs on a
vanilla 2.6.14 and on debian 2.6.14-2-powerpc

I don't remember exactly what caused it (it was three or four days ago),
but I saw this same message in a i386 box (which I am using right now).

I have never seen this before and have not changed the system in any
drastic way that would cause programs to behave incorrectly regarding
memory allocation.

Oh, wait. Perhaps I did. I enabled 4k stacks in my latest kernel
compilation (currently using 2.6.14.2).

pbbuttonsd and NoTapTyping option?

2005-11-20 Thread Matthias Grimm

Hi,
does anybody use the NoTapTyping function of pbbuttonsd with success?
How much would you pay to keep it? ;-)

If this is not the case and due to the problems this function could
cause, I would remove the function from pbbuttond again with the next
release.

Any comments?

  Best Regards
Matthias
