[Bluez-users] bthid and standby button

[Michal Semler (volny.cz)]

Hi Marcel,

I looked through my keyboard because of hotkeys and find out, that 

StandBy button is not recognized well - xev doesn't return key code.

Stand by
> ACL data: handle 0x0029 flags 0x02 dlen 7
    L2CAP(d): cid 0x41 len 3 [psm 0]
      A1 03 02

actually this is a special key and it needs a special mapping. This
means report id 03 with the value 02. I thought my Microsoft spits out a
message in the syslog when I press the standby button, but I don't have
it handy right now.

Regards

Marcel

I have no idea, because I never used any of the multimedia keys. I still
use my ten years old Microsoft Natural Keyboard and the most cutting
edge feature of it is the PS/2 adapter ;)

Maybe you should play with the hotkeys program, or write a patch for
bthid to create another input key code.

Regards

Marcel

:))) Really? You wrote in this mailing list, that you have Microsoft BT set?

LinEAK supports Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard which has the same look like =
my=20
Microsoft BT keyboard. I'll try get it to work and then send you if yours=20
mapping is the same as Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard
and if not, I'll send you patch.
