With hid module in the kernel the regular part of the keyboard (i.e. all letters, num pad and Fxx keys up to F12) are working perfectly fine. However with the additional keys I don't get any events in /dev/input/event0. This is the same behavior as found on a regular Linux PC and also under Windows. Although the manufacturer of the keyboard confirmed that those keys do send proper HID codes (0x68 to 0x8b for F13 to F48). I don't have any experience in programming on the Kernel level. Could you maybe direct me in how to get the input events of those keys running? Thank you in advance, David
