Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
(I'm pretty sure this is a bug with Ubuntu and not G15 keyboard, actually I
think it might be X server bug)
(Also, the bug report tool would not let me choose "I don't know" option for
package name)
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10
Reproduced this bug with g15macro 1.03 compiled from source (also reproduced
from Symantec version too)
The g15daemon and g15macro work fine, I can use the G and M keys for
simple macros (text typing). When going to "Keyboard Shortcuts" app from
System->Preferences, I can select an action and press one of the G keys
to be used as a shortcut. The shortcut then becomes something like
XF86Launch7, which is fine (meaning Keyboard Shortcuts app actually
recognizes the G keys). When I press the same G key after closing the
Keyboard Shortcuts app, nothing happens.
I'm not completely sure, but my guess is that this occurs due to
XSendEvent (default compile option) and XTest (tried this as well),
which g15macro relies on, having a flag telling apps that they are
'fake' keypresses. I'm also guessing that Ubuntu ignores them since
they're fake, even though Keyboard Shortcuts app recognizes them.
