(maybe a little bit OT...)
Is there any way to have 2 USB keyboard devices connected at the same
time, but each having different key mappings or user-defined key code
mappings in X?
I managed to do this on the console with wsconsctl, but I can't figure
out how to do it in X although xorg.conf says to use wskbd* (see below).
What I exactly want to do:
I've attached a USB keyboard (through a KVM):
/bsd: uhidev1 at uhub5 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 "Belkin
Components USB-PS2 Adapter" rev 1.10/1.20 addr 2
/bsd: uhidev1: iclass 3/1
/bsd: ukbd0 at uhidev1: 8 modifier keys, 6 key codes
/bsd: wskbd1 at ukbd0 mux 1
/bsd: wskbd1: connecting to wsdisplay0
And a laserpointer (has 4 buttons):
/bsd: uhidev3 at uhub8
/bsd: port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 "Kensington Wireless Presenter
with Laser Pointer" rev 2.00/0.06 addr 2
/bsd: uhidev3: iclass 3/1
/bsd: ukbd1 at uhidev3: 8 modifier keys, 6 key codes, country code 33
/bsd: wskbd2 at ukbd1 mux 1
/bsd: wskbd2: connecting to wsdisplay0
In the end I want to use the laserpointer buttons to start applications
through xbindkeys.
The problem is that currently its buttons send the keycodes for
"page_up"/"page_down", "F5" and "b" - so I can't catch them through
xbindkeys as this would also be triggered if I type those keys on the
keyboard.
Therefore I want to map those keycodes only for the laserpointer to
currently unused ones - which I then can catch without side effects.
So far I've created 2 InputDevices in xorg.conf, but I can't figure out
how to configure them separately - xmodmap has no parameter for this and
always changes the "whole" keyboard.
Any ideas?
