Subject:   Adding extra keys to kernel and X (MS keyboards)
Message-ID:  <20000523154127.A8130@marvin.kazrak.com>

I've added kernel support for the extra keys on my MS Internet Keyboard Pro
(all 19 of them) to atkbd.c, using keycodes 0x6d-0x7f.  (I can submit the
patches to /usr/src/sys/dev/kbd/atkbd.c, /usr/src/sys/dev/kbd/kbdtables.h,
and /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.kbd if people are interested, but
I'd like to make sure the keycodes in question are reasonably standard
first.)

Now, I need to add support to X for them...and it doesn't seem to work.
I've added some keycodes for them to the files in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86, and xkbcomp :0 shows them present,
but xev shows no events for them, even if I bind some with xmodmap.

Current config is 5.0-CURRENT, running XFree 3.3.6 installed from package.

Any pointers or suggestions?

BJ
