Hi, if the keys generate normal key events, they need to go into 'hotkey-setup' along with your dmi-decode details for that laptop.

If the keys generate ACPI events (sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid) then they need to go into 'acpi-support'.

Could you confirm what the key code for the play button is? You can do this by going to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and then running:

  sudo showkey -u | tee keycodes.txt

pressing the keys in turn and and then pasting the contents of that file (wait 10 seconds for the program to finish after you've stopped typing).

Many Thanks, Paul

Fantastic! That's the best report I've seen in a while! The only thing I
don't understand is what the 'Found: Not/Yes' line means.

To help you understand them '0x9c' is the enter key being released after
you've type the command. The two similar sequences are sent, the second of
which is 128 higher than the first, these translate into push; release with
the extra top-bit set.

> Combination of keys: Fn+esc 0xe0 0x1f

Is there any writing/picture associated with this key. Does it do anything
in MS Windows? I Got most of the other unclear meanings from:

  http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc032192ap.jpg

but I can't see Fn-Esc on there (too far off the left side).

Can you do a 'sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid' in the background (maybe over
SSH if the system dies). Pressing it again should rotate between Internal,
External and Both. It should produce an ACPI event ...hopefully.

Brightness Controls are probably ACPI.

Literally, 'Num_Lock' ...which X will probably misinterpret and use to turn
on MouseKeys. When you press this under X, does the 'Num Lock' LED come on?

These are the 'normal' Pause/Break and PrintScreen keys and Keypad_Enter
sequences, they are just moved because there isn't space for them normally.

Check 'sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid' for an ACPI event. If the LED is tied
to the keypress it may well be a "hardware" rf_kill switch.

> Sound Down: 0xe0 0x2e Volume Down
> Sound Down: 0xe0 0x30 Volume Up
> Sound on/off: 0xe0 0x20 Volume Mute

Can you check that if Mute allows sends the same keycode, or if it sends two
different keycodes depending on whether it's going Mute->Unmute or instead
Unmute->Mute.

Finally, could you run the following:

  for s in system-{manufacturer,product-name} system-version ; do sudo dmidecode -s $s ; done

so that I can identify your laptop.

Many Thanks, that is an aweful lot of good-quality data you provided!

Not!

Test:
Press Fn+F7 and Fn+F8:
caravena@hefesto:/etc/init.d$ sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid

Working in report. Whats package? acpi, acpi-support, hal, etc.?

In console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), press Fn+despl(Num_Lock), works? yes, work
in console(Ctrl+Alt+F[1|2|3|...|6], not problem.

Change to console(Ctrl+Alt+F1), write 'sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid',
press button_wireless.

Test b)
Press button_wireless:
caravena@hefesto:/etc/init.d$ sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid

Button mute/unmute(Volume on/off) use = keycode.

Test c)
Press button volume on/off:
caravena@hefesto:~$ sudo showkey -u | tee volume_on-off_press2.txt
kb mode was UNICODE

press any key (program terminates after 10s of last keypress)...

[Problem...]

Relation with dumpkeycodes?

$cat /etc/init.d/keycode-setup
#!/bin/bash

manufacturer=`dmidecode --string system-manufacturer`
name=`dmidecode --string system-product-name`
version=`dmidecode --string system-version`

echo 1;

case "$1" in
    start)

echo 2;
    /usr/sbin/dumpkeycodes >/var/run/hotkey-setup

    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
 rm /var/run/hotkey-setup
    fi
[...]

$sudo ./hotkey-setup
1
$
[And 2???]

What is:
--------------------
case "$1" in
    start)
--------------------

What is: "$1"

Edit file /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup

Add:

 case "$name" in
  Presario*)
  . /usr/share/hotkey-setup/compaq.hk
  ;;
  esac

Update file /usr/share/hotkey-setup/compaq.hk

Ah, 'key-constants' isn't in the version of hotkey-setup you have, but there's a copy in the 'acpi-support' package, please run:

  /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants

Please run:

  (. /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants ; sudo sh ./compaq.hk)

This should loads the symbols out of 'key-constants' and then run the script with them actually in.

"$1" is the first parameter; $2, the second, etc. So when:

  /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start

is called $0 = "/etc/init.d/hotkey-setup", $1 = "start". It's being use to detect whether it being started or stopped.

Pliss help. (My english no is good, I copy/paste script...

You don't need to restart gdm or anything, changes will take effect immediately because they go through the input layer:

Stick this in a 'run.sh':

  #!/bin/sh
  . /usr/share/hotkey-setup/key-constants
  . ./compaq.hk

then:

  sudo ./run.sh

from a GNOME terminal. Then run:

  xev

what keys to do see now when you press the buttons?
