There is no KeymapNotify event when you change input devices? What version of xorg_server libXi and the joystick driver are you using? - Sascha signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Re: Joystick input driver and multimedia key events
After putting (and restarting X) Option "MapButton1""key=0x1008ff13" Option "MapButton3""key=0x1008ff11" this is what I get from xev for buttons 1 and 3: KeyPress event, serial 49, synthetic NO, window 0x3c1, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48271360, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 51, synthetic NO, window 0x3c1, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48271552, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 51, synthetic NO, window 0x3c1, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48277632, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 11 (keysym 0x32, 2), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (32) "2" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (32) "2" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 51, synthetic NO, window 0x3c1, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48277792, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 11 (keysym 0x32, 2), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (32) "2" XFilterEvent returns: False Maybe is something Ubuntu-specific? Everything else is working except those MM keycodes...

FWIW, XI2 has keysym grabs instead of keycode grabs, so that problem should be gone. Cheers, Peter ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

If my approach is wrong, how could I get multimedia key > actions to work with joystick driver? configuring key=0x1008ff13 worked for me and produced the desired key. xev shows the name as well so it's easy to check. While it is possible to generate those key events, there is a fundamental problem with grabs on those keys. Basically, applications grab on scancodes of a certain input device. Pressing a button on the joystick changes the primary device and the key has to be regrabbed. But of course the first keystroke is lost. For me the above configuration did raise the volume, but on the 2nd button press only. This problem exists with other input devices and grabs as well and is not a joystick driver specific problem. - Sascha signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Joystick input driver and multimedia key events
Is it possible to use joystick driver to generate multimedia key events? I wanted to make i.e. buttons 1 and 3 to be volume up and volume down like this: Option "MapButton1""key=0x1008,0xff13" Option "MapButton3""key=0x1008,0xff11" I got codes 0x1008ff13 and 0x1008ff11 from xev (I didn't found appropriate constants in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h). I tried to put 32-bit numbers, but I got error about this, so i tried the above, but got nothing. If my approach is wrong, how could I get multimedia key actions to work with joystick driver? I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, joystick driver 1.4.0 and XOrg 7.4. I'm successfully using joystick driver to emulate mouse.
