[Desktop-packages] [Bug 313514] Re: MASTER: evdev driver ignores keycodes > 255
Is this still a problem with *xserver-xorg-input-libinput*, which
replaces *xserver-xorg-input-evdev*?

MASTER: evdev driver ignores keycodes > 255
Status in X.Org X server:
Unknown
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
package Version: 1:2.0.99+git20080912-0ubuntu5
Ubuntu 8.10
Keyboards can use keycodes that go above 255. See
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.28/include/linux/input.h
These are often multimedia keys for keyboards and remotes.
These are ignored by the evdev driver:
gimble:~/xserver-xorg-input-evdev-2.0.99+git20080912$ grep 255 src/evdev.c
if (code > 255 && ev->code < KEY_MAX) {
/* The X server can't handle keycodes > 255 anyway, just drop them. */
Which means they never reach X and therefore cannot be used in anyway.
The only workaround at the minute would be to use input-kdb to remap
all keys for an input device to values lower than 255.
