The KEY= line shows that "Video Bus" can send any of these keys: ,----[ excerpt from: /usr/include/linux/input.h ] | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN 224 | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP 225 | #define KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE 227 /* Cycle between available video | outputs (Monitor/LCD/TV-out/etc) */ | #define KEY_UNKNOWN 240 | #define KEY_VIDEO_NEXT 241 /* drive next video source */ | #define KEY_VIDEO_PREV 242 /* drive previous video source */ | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESS_CYCLE 243 /* brightness up, after max is min */ | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESS_ZERO 244 /* brightness off, use ambient */ | #define KEY_DISPLAY_OFF 245 /* display device to off state */ `---- So, if one wants to handle those keys via X, evdev needs to read that input device. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
