Hi developers, I have two buttons on my laptop that currently do nothing. I would like to use them to do something, preferably execute a program. I've determined that I can see that they send press and release events when I use the input-events program. Can someone tell me what I do with this information? I don't know where to configure this information in HAL or DeviceKit despite lots of searching and reading. Ideally I would like to get this working in 10.04 and contribute the changes for the final release.
Here's the output from a shell: # sudo input-events 11 /dev/input/event11 bustype : BUS_HOST vendor : 0x0 product : 0x0 version : 0 name : "HP WMI hotkeys" phys : "wmi/input0" bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_SW waiting for events 14:24:59.128496: EV_KEY KEY_INFO (0x166) pressed 14:24:59.128503: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 14:24:59.128506: EV_KEY KEY_INFO (0x166) released 14:24:59.128509: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 # sudo input-events 4 /dev/input/event4 bustype : BUS_I8042 vendor : 0x1 product : 0x1 version : 43841 name : "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" phys : "isa0060/serio0/input0" bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_LED EV_REP waiting for events 14:24:23.835501: EV_MSC code=4 value=136 14:24:23.835520: EV_KEY KEY_PRESENTATION (0x1a9) pressed 14:24:23.835526: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 14:24:23.842493: EV_MSC code=4 value=136 14:24:23.842506: EV_KEY KEY_PRESENTATION (0x1a9) released 14:24:23.842510: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
