And the keyboard lose the match

The problems still present

There are still a couple of issues I wasn’t able to smash this night but I hope to do soon;

  • the WIN key doesn’t react as it should and is ignored by KDE (note: I found the problem while I was here so this *should* be fixed in the patch I linked before but I haven’t tried it right now);
  • the ZoomIn/ZoomOut keys aren’t well-read by the system, and I’m not able to use them on KDE for now;
  • the mouse’s buttons are seen like buttons as they are and they aren’t remappable on KDE.. this is something which needs to be changed in kdelibs.. I’ll try;
  • this is the major problem: some keys are “ghosts” of other, for example if I press the “windows list” key it acts like a Stop key. I’m not sure what’s the deal with them but I’ll try to find out soon, they are just a few, the main ones works fine as they should.

Anyway the keyboard itself works well and is quite comfortable to use, a good choice :)
As soon as I’ve cleared out the above problems I’ll submit the patch to Xorg to see if it’s good enough.

    What do you use in your xorg.conf ? I have errors, it didn’t like evdev all of a sudden- its unclear how to use the patch aside from the xkb profile..

    just paste in your input sections from your xorg.conf for us then or something.

    Thanks for this patch, its progress!! ive had the kb and mouse a while…

    but the down arrow key sends a return? not sure about that.
