Hello SunRay-Users, I've got a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for use at home, and plugged it in a Sun Ray 1. Actually that happened long ago, several months now.
What I didn't notice before (perhaps it changed over time, or I never had the need) is that the function keys (F1-F12) don't work. This USB keyboard has a special function-toggle key (F-Lock) which changes the other F-keys between traditional F1-F12 codes and extended codes (Help, Undo, Save, etc.) It also has some more "silver" keys to control the volume, etc. The problem is, at the moment neither of these keys produce a keycode (according to /usr/openwin/demo/xev). The F-Lock key doesn't react to my keypresses and the Function keys don't do anything - this happened to be a bad thing. (How could I live without them for so long that I couldn't notice whether/when they were gone?) I've googled up a number of Linux threads, many state that the recent Linux kernels have added a specific driver to support the "MSNEK4K". The question is, is it a problem with my software setup, or with the Sun Ray hardware/software itself with interaction capabilities to the keyboard? Is there any simple way to get the F-keys working? -- Best regards, Jim Klimov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
