| |
Hi
I recently moved to kernel 2.6.6 from 2.4.26 and noticed that four keys on my keyboard stopped working. The kernel reports:
keyboard: unrecognized scancode (XX) - ignored
Where XX is 71, 72, 74, 75.
My setup is quite unusual as I'm using Sun type 5 keyboard on my PC with a self-made adapter. However, this setup has worked for at least six years with different kernel versions. The four keys which don't work anymore are from the function-key-set on the left hand side of the keyboard, if you know what a Sun keyboard looks like.
I tried to solve my problem using setkeycodes and tried:
setkeycodes 71 101
as 101 was unused keycode (according to getkeycodes)
getkeycodes reported after that:
# getkeycodes | grep 0x70 0x70: 93 101 0 89 0 0 85 91
But showkeys -s shows 0x5b when the key in question is pressed (and no release event!!??) Which is what I don't understand but what probably is out of the scope of this list.
Under XFree86 this key is then keycode 99 and keysym ff55 which confuses me totally, but the question "why" belongs probably not to this list either.
All mentioned keyboard related programs come from the latest kbd-package - kbd-1.12.
I would be very thankful if somebody could help me to understand what's going on and how can I get my keys working again. There must be a good reason for the change from 2.4.x to 2.6.x which escapes me.
Thanks for your time.
Regards, Chris
