In case you happen to be seeing the same thing, I came across a problem a while ago where the nested match rules didn't seem to, err, match. I replaced them with a (less-than ideal) single rule that would also (semi-coincidentally) macth, and all was well. Sorry, but I can't find any more about the issue just now.

XO keymap blues
Hi! Several months ago I stumbled over the fact that when running Debian on my XOs (XO-1 and XO-1.5, currently testing on XO-1.5) the keymap is different from the one the OLPC builds use. Today I took a look at this, but I'm stuck: I do not even get the same scancodes. I'm puzzled as to how that's even possible as it's the same piece of hardware (and unless there's something weird going on, the scancode is what the keyboard (relayed through EC) sends, _before_ any translation by kernel or X). Do the OLPC builds include some hidden code (I checked olpc-utils but didn't find anything) to tell the EC to use a different keyboard mode? It can't be in the kernel as I'm already running an OLPC one (based on olpc-2.6.31, commit 12d6406). OFW is Q3A48. To give an example, this is the output of showkey -s for the left grab key: Build 852: 0xe0 0x5b 0xe0 0xdb Debian Squeeze: 0xe0 0x2a 0xe0 0x37 0xe0 0xaa 0xe0 0xb7 Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Excerpts from Daniel Drake's message of Thu Oct 07 22:45:15 +0200 2010: Today I took a look at this, but I'm stuck: I do not even get the same scancodes. They are remapped by hal by a fdi file. Shipped by olpc-utils I think. And for newer builds, they are remapped by udev. Those remappings are upstream. Thanks, this got me on the right track! I have found and read both the HAL file (OLPC builds only) and the udev keymap, but as they use symbolic names I didn't expect them to affect scancodes so I didn't give them a closer look before (as I assumed the problem to be on a lower layer than those files). I don't know why, but apparently udev isn't applying the olpc-xo keymap to the keyboard device. If I manually run /lib/udev/keymap input/event3 olpc-xo (which is what udev should run according to /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules), the scan code for left grab matches and X recognises it as Super_L (like it should). Next step is to figure out why udev doesn't work, but I'll leave that for another day. Both /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor and /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name match the values in the rules files. Just in case you spot something, here's the output of udevadm info --query=all --path=/sys/class/input/event3: P: /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3/event3 N: input/event3 S: char/13:67 S: input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd E: UDEV_LOG=3 E: DEVPATH=/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3/event3 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: DEVNAME=input/event3 E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_KEY=1 E: ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD=1 E: ID_SERIAL=noserial E: ID_PATH=platform-i8042-serio-0 E: XKBMODEL=olpc E: XKBLAYOUT=us E: XKBVARIANT=olpc E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=67 E: DEVLINKS=/dev/char/13:67 /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd E: DMI_VENDOR=OLPC Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
