Hello all, On my Powerbook5,8 (post-October Aluminum), I have a problem with the special keys overloaded on the F keys.
I have Michael's patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=3856) applied to the kernel, but none of the keys seems to produce any special action. pbbuttonsd listens for those keys and should run the special actions, but it doesn't. Fn + cursor keys do produce the expected acion, i.e page up/down and home/end. The power key works also. In default config, Fn+Fx (eg. Fn+F1) do produce different keycodes. But it seems the Fn-ified keycode is not what it should be. showkey on the console has this to say (down + up events): F1: 0x3b 0xbb Fn + F1: 0x00 0x81 0xe0 0x80 0x00 0xe0 As you can se, with fn, I get six bytes instead of two. The last byte of each block of three does represent the keycode I'm looking for: 0xe0 or 224 for fn+F1. What am I missing here? Also note that I ave no sound compiled in, which pbbuttonsd notices on startup, and that the three sound-related keys do produce the expected keycodes 113-115. eject, though not dependant on fn, also produces a three-byte sequence in showkeys, and indeed does not work. Thanks, and cheers Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy. Study Art. 23, Rue Paul Henkes | Ask Questions. Make Mistakes.
