Description Hans Bakker 2009-12-30 12:25:23 UTC

I'm using Kubuntu 10.04 on a VAIO VGN-SR51MF/S laptop.
The xkb-data package has version 1.7-1ubuntu1.

The laptop has a few hotkeys. The first four of these hotkeys are mapped correctly to XF86Launch1 up to XF86Launch4, respectively.

The fifth hotkey, the mode button and the setting button have no keysym (xev reports the keycodes, but reports 'NoSymbol' as keysym).

The keycodes are the following:
191 for the mode button
192 for the fifth hotkey (should be mapped to XF86Launch5)
193 for the setting button

For the mode and setting button, I don't know a good suggestion right now, maybe XF86Launch0 for the mode button and XF86Launch6 for the setting button? Or XF86Tools for the mode button and XF86Option for the setting button?

Could you please tell me what kbd driver you are using in X.Org? Pleas run

xprop -root | grep XKB

Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2010-01-18 16:29:20 UTC

Also, I would like to see the output

xkbcomp :0 -xkb out.xkb

This is somewhat suspicious. Are you sure your Xorg build is correct?

Also,

>191 for the mode button
>192 for the fifth hotkey (should be mapped to XF86Launch5)
>193 for the setting button

There are no "mode" or "setting" buttons as such. Could you please look at the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet file and check what symbols are available.

I tried it again today and now only
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "intl", "lv3:ralt_switch"
is printed. Probably something was fixed in Kubuntu's Xorg packages :)

What about mapping 191 ("mode") to XF86Tools and 193 ("settings") to XF86MenuKB?

Comment 7 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2010-03-28 16:13:02 UTC

Done. Please check git.

Thank you! Could you give an expectation of when this will be released?
