Subject: Asus PC-39 IR Control: dead keys
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:19:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4925D46F.10701@gmx.net> (raw)

Hi all

The keys defined with numbers bigger than 255 in the IR_KEYTAB_TYPE 
ir_codes_asus_pc39[IR_KEYTAB_SIZE] do not get recognized by X11 nor the 
console.

- showkey shows the keycode but no scancode
- xev does not react at all on those keys
- neither does the console
- lineak, as far as I can see, just reacts on keycodes below 256 too, or 
in other word on what xev does react.

How to solve this? How do I get the keys such as KEY_DVD or KEY_ZOOM 
(>255) get to work with an (X) app?

The only solution I can see by now, as long as X11 and the kernel 
(right?) do not react on key above 255 is
- to find me some unused keys below 256,
- fill IR_KEYTAB_TYPE ir_codes_asus_pc39[IR_KEYTAB_SIZE] wiht the best 
fitting,
- and recompile the driver module saa7134 with the new key definitions.

This is probably NOT the way to go.

Any suggestions?

Greets and thanks

Roman
