My latest attempt to embrace FreeBSD met with failure, and I'd love to solicit ideas to try again, as I've got some vacation time coming up I c= an spend on it. In short, I've got a Logitech illuminated keyboard, and it presents multimedia keys via a UHID. At one point I hacked up usbhidaction, as I remember, to interpret events - it presented as a ranged device, even though it was all fixed values - but that's the wrong way to do it. I asked for help on EFnet #freebsd-xorg and got some, but no luck, so I want to ask again here: What do I do to get working multimedia-key UHID support under FreeBSD 11.1? I've installed xf86-input-evdev and loaded the evdev driver, and built webcamd from ports to have the right stuff, but I didn't see /dev/input show up, and it's unclear to me how I'd hook it into X either way. An added wrinkle is that I use nVidia and use nvidia-xconfig, but I can't see that presenting any insuperable problems. Thanks in advance. If I can get this working fully I'll use FreeBSD more and will naturally participate/contribute more, but I'm hitting a number of roa= d- blocks and would be grateful for assistance. --=20 Mason Loring Bliss mason@blisses.org Ewige Blumenkraft! awake ? sleep : random() & 2 ? dream : sleep; -- Hamlet, Act III, Scene I --p2kqVDKq5asng8Dg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJZcPbUAAoJEJ6yV3B27yVVeeoP+wTOKfvS8mJCTA7h2vBPQ8nu wrTcXJdraqaIt+0obMqWLrhF68dV5KnZ1s4A2YLXQNyqXyJOO0SbEzvoaOVJM1ov H2a2o0z2PbM5+Lu18nM/f+jy3qh1WoJgSpPjmmkhvMPA5lV++R3Dc5+a/opGvnKs VRTb+7mwiSxZmQT5IaQf1F5G/3tamoKdZ+ty0FNhLz8M2+OeqO9rxOrSm4eBkP8F RgVe6PEgxCNNAohHX0yKSJRs53n10NFyqWgM9LhGlz5h0oyt49Tpc1sV2hCftwPy 8WkT1vMDdCCymbw0Aeaa6i3qnzwbF3cqxWtt8p/hQ+Bo5ZRbVl46+iYt+iGyUH50 6dKZftnihSaLcezZ4ZJ1jcGU39Z83+p6/cdGs/i2jxFz8UDnbFBWoxJ8rCeH31Qx eNvcNcFBZkfLUKZE8RbJCBqB3+pcP7K9Qm+dkWGdJ4RGnOwvN32+5DWCf8zCe/TA 7BWiFSQI51twB1bvzk4ZHPOrpGyIbWFedPv2Y+neN6LyolbwbeCOLD9Xa8dq91za dAzNZZTpwIhP92vahT7P892bHEOMTENJGFkRUELk0wQJyZhN9XGJ0KCECFU7AhWH HBmq+P/CX2Z5nwles12qGdgbPR76ZLS0ygRyrsF6kgwxUedlsH3CN41obPqqURGP cSt5VHyRX4Ifa2dFjooX =TGAN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --p2kqVDKq5asng8Dg--
