Here's some context. Csaba noticed[1] that his keyboard (a "Gigabyte K8100 Aivia USB Gaming Keyboard") does not work correctly on Linux. It is claimed by the usbhid driver and: > all keys absolutely not working, but led's does light. When I search for information about Linux support for this keyboard elsewhere, I see that the backspace key and multimedia keys are said to work but nothing else[2]: | papibe June 4th, 2011, 09:51 PM | | Try to see if xev registers an event while pressing the backspace key: | $ xev | Regards. | | Peckles June 4th, 2011, 10:07 PM | Thanks for the command, very useful.

The question becomes: where to go from here? Any idea about how we can find out what how to drive this device? Does it have a driver for Windows we could investigate? Is there perhaps some way to trace what it sends over the wire in order to mock something up? Csaba, please attach "lsusb -v" output. Others: hints?
