|
|
I've got an HP Pavilion N5190 laptop. The keyboard seems to work fine, except for 11 buttons. On the front of the laptop, there are 6 buttons (marked Previous, Play/Pause, Stop/Eject, Next, Volume Up, and Volume Down.) Up at the top of the keyboard, near the power button and below the screen, there are 5 more buttons. One big one with a moon (standby), then 4 small ones (www, email, a weird icon that has no meaning, and a question mark).
My question is, how can I get these to work? I want the buttons on the front (play, next track, etc.) to control XMMS. And the volume buttons to control master volume. The buttons on top, I want to suspend my system (the suspend button... can you even suspend in Linux?). And all the other buttons to launch various apps (KMail, Mozilla, etc.). How can I do this?
Now, on to the mouse. This one should be pretty simple (I hope). My touch pad has two buttons down below it (left and right, obviously). Now, between these two buttons there is a little white button. It is actually two more buttons. You press up, and in theory it's like scrolling the wheel of a normal mouse up. Down, wheel down. See? How can I get that to work?
Here is part of my XF86Config:
Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
Thanks!

Try that on for size with your mouse issue (try a new Protocol). As for the extra buttons on your keyboard I have no idea. I think there have been other posts regarding these issues you might search for one of them.
