that's normal. If it has keys, we'll treat it as a keyboard. Amongst other things, this should allow for things like your desktop environment picking up mute/camera/etc buttons. (the 255 keycode limit sometimes gets in the way here though, but the principle is there anyway) Cheers, Peter _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
