I still have the problem, mostly.
The multimedia keys work fine but I cannot use the number pad (remember,
this keyboard has no numlock key, it is always supposed to be a number
pad), there is an = key on the numpad that I cannot use, and there is a
. on the number pad that X11 thinks is 'delete'
I would have no way of knowing when the mapping is ready so that I
should reconfigure, but in my wild dreams Ubuntu would be cool enough to
figure it out from the USB device ID.
Here's some xev output:
This is the "help" key on this keyboard:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0xc1, subw 0x0, time 2594308392, (80,76), root:(1069,103),
state 0x0, keycode 106 (keysym 0xff63, Insert), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
This really is the "Clear" key as X11 says, but it is where the NumLock key
/would/ be if my keyboard had a NumLock key. It does not; the numbers on the
number pad, which have the same symbols as a regular keyboard, are permanently
stuck in non-number mode:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0xc1, subw 0x0, time 2594316567, (80,76), root:(1069,103),
state 0x0, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff0b, Clear), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0b) "
"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0b) "
"
XFilterEvent returns: False
This is the = key on the numeric keypad:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0xc1, subw 0x0, time 2594316983, (80,76), root:(1069,103),
state 0x0, keycode 157 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
This is not "KP_Delete"; it is period "." :
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0xc1, subw 0x0, time 2594322542, (80,76), root:(1069,103),
state 0x0, keycode 91 (keysym 0xff9f, KP_Delete), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
