I googled how to use the multimedia-keys already, seems as if I have to face some serious key-logging and hacking around to get those working (no, nothing usable on that funny CD). Some of them work (volume, internet-keys to the left), only the 7 keys on top miss. I don't actually NEED them, but as I PAID them .... you know ... ;-) -- Just before I start hacking myself, I want to ask you if maybe someone has already gone through this and is willing to share ...? Sorry if I sound lazy, actually I am already getting a bit tired of hacking stuff like that everytime I get a new piece of hardware. --> for reference: # cat /proc/bus/input/devices [...] I: Bus=0003 Vendor=04b3 Product=301b Version=0110 N: Name="Lite-On Technology USB Productivity Option Keyboard( has the hub in # 1 )" P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-1.1/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event1 B: EV=120013 B: KEY=1000000000007 ff9f207ac14057ff febeffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe B: MSC=10 B: LED=1f I: Bus=0003 Vendor=04b3 Product=301b Version=0110 N: Name="Lite-On Technology USB Productivity Option Keyboard( has the hub in # 1 )" P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-1.1/input1 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event2 B: EV=13 B: KEY=ff 2000000 3878d8000001 e000000000000 0 B: MSC=10 [...] The part in my xorg.conf (googled that one): Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" EndSection -- Thanks a lot for any help on this, Stefan
