Hello,
I've a laptop with 2 additional keys for the Euro and Dollar (Acer TM8106).
When I press these keys, I get the following error: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xb3 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e033 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xb3 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e033 <keycode>' to make it known.
When I use setkeycodes to link a keycode to a scancode, as shown below:
setkeycodes 0xb3 205
(I think that this is the same as: setkeycodes e033 205 At least it gives identical results)
To make the key know as Euro key, I do the following: loadkeys << "EOF" keycode 205 = currency EOF
This results in a the Euro sign on my console with setfont lat0-16 -m 8859-15
Now my question: When I do a showkey -s, I expect that when I press the Euro key, which I just linked to 0xb3 will be shown. But the following is the result: showkey -s kb mode was XLATE
press any key (program terminates after 10s of last keypress)... 0x9c 0xe0 0x25 0xe0 0xa5
What is the reason that the scancode which I set differs from what is shown by showkey?
With kind regards Joost Gevers
