Re: Multimedia Keyboard (extra keys) on console
yea but that doesnt help me, the 041 for the key - how would i compute that from the 0xe0 0x4f for example? for a real example: i have a key that produces 0xe0 0x10, 0x10 however is decimal 016, and is the 'q' key, pressing the 0xe0 0x10 key does not print a 'q' tho :) so the 0xe0 has a meaning, i tried 0xe0+0x10 ..but thats stupid and didnt give me a good value, so ..what decimal scancode is 0xe0 0x10 ? king ferrex wrote: ive searched the whole manual for appearance of keyboard and vowel ;) the manual says the atkbd kbdcontrol etc manpages cover it all, so i should read those ..ive read them all thoughrouly already and didnt get an appropriate answer. from keymap(5): For example, consider the following extract from a kbdmap: 041 dgra 172nopnop'|''|'nopnop O dgra '`' ( 'a' 224 ) ( 'A' 192 ) ( 'e' 232 ) ( 'E' 200 ) ( 'i' 236 ) ( 'I' 204 ) ( 'o' 242 ) ( 'O' 210 ) ( 'u' 249 ) ( 'U' 217 ) This extract configures the backtick key on a UK keyboard to act as a grave accent key.

Re: Multimedia Keyboard (extra keys) on console
theres easier ways to get the multimedia keys working on X, but i am looking for a way to get them working on the console. as i said before, it seems to me as if there isnt a halfway moderate way to even find out the keycodes or anything ..on linux its as easy as showkey -s I suggest you take a look at the acme port.

Re: Multimedia Keyboard (extra keys) on console
It depends on what the linux utility delivers. RAW scancodes or XLATE scancodes. What you need is the translated scancode and you need a press codes not the release ones. There is qualified article about FreeBSD syscons in the net but it is in russian. The author provides also some utilities for playing alittle bit with syscons driver. see http://www.tsu.ru/~pascal/unix/syscons/scancode.c the utility which can show scancodes RAW ones as well as intern ones.
