Re: [XFree86] xev ignores some keypresses
What's next, file a bug? I've already filed one on the lack of button support for Logitech mice :-( Sadly I don't think anyone has even looked at it :-( I've got a shoebox fool of old Logitech (and Trust which have Logitech innards) wheel mice just trying to find one supported by X. Sigh !! Owen On Monday 20 Oct 2003 11:41 pm, Dylan Carlson wrote: I reported a bug that X / xev doesn't register all the button presses (anything above button 3 !) on Logitech mice.

Between your problem with 4-button mice and my keyboard issue, I going to go out on a limb and say it smells like a limitation/bug with XFree86 since this stuff works fine in Windows(tm).

I find it _impossible_ that other people are not having this problem, as I seriously doubt I'm the only guy with a newer Logitech keyboard running XFree86. You can't GET a keyboard nowadays without these extra buttons on them. If You use Linux, then problem is kernel related. Almost Logitech keyboards uses two USB interfaces : 1st as normal keyboard and 2nd as multimedia keys. I think 2.4 ingnore multimedia keypress and do not send keycodes to TTY. Instead You can read multimedia keypress from event interface. So 1st normal keyboard from /dev/input/event0 and 2nd multimedia from /dev/input/event1. Current xf86 ingnore event interface. I know only one site http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/ XFree86 input from linux event interface by Zephian E. Hull. This code allow use /dev/input/eventXX as mouse and keyboard, but do not catch multimedia keys, because them have different eventXX device file. IMHO code, which read multimedia keypress from /dev/input/eventXX and push into XFree86 events, does not exist :( Aivils Stoss ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

[XFree86] xev ignores some keypresses
Greetings, I have a Logitech Access Keyboard (model # Y-SR34) with which I'm attempting to use some of the special/non-standard keys. I've done this before on other keyboards... and it has always worked well before. On this keyboard, most of the special keys show up fine -- I have defined xmodmaps for the ones that work -- but there are 6 keys which do not register an event under 'xev'. They are: * Messenger button * New Mail * My Computer * My Docs * My Pics * My Music In an attempt to understand why 'xev' doesn't see those keys, I've gone through the docs and various searches in Google and Bugzilla, but came up empty-handed. Wondering if anyone on the list can help. TIA for hints advice. Please reply-all, as I am not subscribed on this list. Cheers, Dylan PS, the following keys show up under 'xev' fine: * Email * Webcam * Mute * Volume up * Volume down * Media * My Home * Search * Reply * Forward * Send * Previous Track * Next Track * Play/Pause * Stop Playback * Right Win * Left Win * Menu ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
