Hi
folks,
For those who
have/use the Logitech diNovo Media Desktop and are running Marcel's latest
patches which passes all the keypresses up from the kernel, I created a patch
for X that allows X to recognize the diNovo keyboard natively, and automagically
map your keys for things like volume, email, browser, etc. Sure, you can
remap your keys by hand and get the same effect...but this is the more elegant
solution and should work right out of the box. I haven't had to map any
keys under KDE since it already recognizes the keycodes for things like volume
up/down, etc.
The long and
short...you can find the patch in Bugzilla on RedHat and
X.org:
For those who prefer instructions:
# cd /usr/lib/X11
# patch -s -p0 < dinovo.patch
Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the setting for
XKbModel and change it to "dinovo"
Restart X and enjoy.
It should apply cleanly on X.org 6.8+...but I suspect it'll
apply cleanly (or almost cleanly) to earlier versions as well...as always, your
mileage may vary. With any luck, it'll get picked up in the next
development cycle for X and Fedora.
Enjoy,
-HJD
