Hello,
I use to have microsoft natural keyboard pro (retail). retail means that it has a ps2 cord and a usb cord thats used for the usb hub only. well i accidently killed it so I bought a microsoft natural keyboard pro (oem) this means that it is usb only for the keyboard actions and the usb hub. Since i've had the new keyboard i haven't been able to use my media keys in fluxbox. it seesm that the new keyboard doesn't map the keys the same way (does this seem reasonable?) i didn't change any config files but if you want to know this is my XF86Config keyboard section
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# Option "LeftAlt" "Meta"
# Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86
# Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" ""
# Option "XkbDisable"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

this is the output from xev when i hit the "media" key

root 0x6c, subw 0x0, time 1554141069, (114,856), root:(180,939),
state 0x0, keycode 129 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
root 0x6c, subw 0x0, time 1554141197, (114,856), root:(180,939),
state 0x0, keycode 129 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""

I'm stumped, any idea why replacing the keyboard with presumably the same kind do this? |
