Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hotkey-setup
I recently purchased a PS/2 K/B from Cherry: http://www.cherry.fr/english/products/cable_keyboards_cymotion_expert.htm It has many special keys (not all of them are very useful ;-). On Edgy, none of the keys work out of the box. In Feisty Herd 5 Live CD, from which I am writing this bug report, it's better : some of the keys work. Here is what works and what doesn't. I put the scan code as seen by Gnome K/B preferences GUI, in braces. These functions are mapped to the normal function keys, and are accessed using a special modifier key. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOD + F1 (0xea) "Browser back" : doesn't work MOD + F2 (0xe9) "Browser next" : doesn't work MOD + F3 (0xe8) "Browser Cancel" : doesn't work MOD + F4 (0xe7) "Browser Reload" : doesn't work MOD + F5 (0xa2) "Play/Pause" : doesn't work (it WAS assigned, but to the function "Pause", instead of play/pause, which obviously doesn't give the expect result... MOD + F6 (0xa4) "music Stop": doesn't work MOD + F7 (0x90) "music Previous track": doesn't work MOD + F8 (0x99) "music Next track": doesn't work MOD + F9 (0xe5) "Search (file manager)" : WORKS MOD + F10 (0xeb) "Depicts a computer icon": doesn't work MOD + F11 (0xe6) "Depicts a folder icon": doesn't work These keys are dedicated, direct access to the function: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volume up (0xb0): WORKS Volume down (0xae): WORKS Volume mute (0xa0): WORKS Launch e-mail client (0xec): WORKS Launch Calculator (0xe1): WORKS Launch Web browser (0xb2): WORKS Launch media player (0xed) : doesn't work, appears to be already assigned to 0x76, which doesn't exist on my K/B (!) Suspend to RAM (0xdf): WORKS (though it actually fails to suspend, and gives an error message bubble in the notification area, but I guess this is a different problem ! ;-) ProblemType: Bug Date: Fri Mar 16 20:03:57 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 Uname: Linux ubuntu 2.6.20-9-generic #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: hotkey-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Some keys don't work on a Cherry K/B https://launchpad.net/bugs/92918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
