I bought myself a new toy yesterday. :) And then spent the rest of the day trying to get it to work. The basic keyboard works OK, once I 'connected' it to the receiever and did the appropriate magic with kbdcontrol. I *still* haven't managed to get the mouse to work. It appears to be connected from the RF point of view[1], but running: moused -df -p /dev/ums0 produces no events. Still, I have another trackball which I prefer to use, though if anybody has bright ideas to get it working I'd appreciate hearing it... What I would really like to do is get the keyboard's extra keys to do something useful. There are 13 hotkeys, 6 keys + a jogdial for controlling an audio application and a scroll wheel. If I could get even some of them working, that would be a great bonus. I note that XFree86 4.2 has a 'logicordless' keyboard model which defines actions for a number of these keys. However, having tested with xev, these events never appear when any of the buttons are pressed. Has anybody else successfully used these buttons? If not, I'm thinking that the first thing to try would be to verify that there are keycodes being emitted by the keyboard driver (atkbd?). Any idea how I would go about doing so? [1] I have verified this on a Windows PC. -- mathie+sig@wossname.org.uk http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
