I burned a CD of the 0.9.2 release, booted up my 715/100 (STI console, HIL keyboard & mouse) and it worked on the first install. Excellent work! I then decided to give X a try, based on Helge Deller's message in http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2001-July/013241.html (thanks, Helge!) This worked, but... The 'i' and 'o' keys in X are dead. The 'i'-key at least sends a keycode-224 to X (as viewed in xev), but if I try xmodmap -e "keycode 224 = i" I get the error: xmodmap: commandline:0: bad keycode value (out of range) The 'o'-key, on the other hand, doesn't send anything at all. Where do I begin to track this down? I've checked that my XF86Config-4 file is set up as described by Helge. My /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 file also looks OK. I've tried various other maps, such as hp-101 and pc101, as well as several keymaps from xkeycaps, but they either scramble the layout completely, or have no effect. This puzzles me, since the STI console works fine with those keys. Where are the scancodes from the HIL bus mapped to X keycodes? (I presume that it uses scancodes like a normal PC keyboard... right?) Or is there another layer needing configuring, which maps keyboard-specific scancodes to linux-generic keynames to X keycodes? Also, I'm using a MS-compatible serial-mouse. Although it works, it is really s-l-o-w. I have a HIL-PS/2 adapter box, but will it work with a PS/2 mouse? If so, will the mouse device change to something like /dev/psaux? Lastly, is anyone working on HIL mouse support? If not, then I wouldn't mind having a go. Thanks to everyone for making this port such a success! -- Andrew G
