Description Forgotten User v5inq2MBSE 2005-08-21 16:11:49 UTC

I've bought a external Keybord (Cherry CyMotion Master Linux) and can't use 
alle the nice special keys on it. I've taken a look into the delivered drivers 
for (hell is this old) SUSE 9.1 and adapted something. 
I've attached a little kernel-patch to make the missing keys available on USB 
(ported from the patch Cherry added for the SUSE 9.1 kernel and shouldn't 
affect anything else than this keyboard). And I've attached the entries 
for /etc/lineakkb.def I get using USB and PS/2 (yes they are different and I 
don't get response on PS/2 for every key). 
Would be nice, if you could include this into SUSE 10. 
 
I've also written a useable spec-file for keyman, the software Cherry 
provides, but it isn't stable. If you have interest in, I can send you, too.

Comment 3 Danny Al-Gaaf 2005-08-21 17:17:06 UTC

I think this is a issue for ial/initial

Comment 4 Vojtech Pavlik 2005-08-22 06:34:00 UTC

I'll take care of the changes needed to the USB HID driver to make the USB
mode of the keyboard work. The rest is a job for userspace (setting up the
scancode tables).

Comment 5 Timo Hoenig 2005-08-22 08:45:50 UTC

I think we have one of those keyboards in our labs. Let me know if I should do some tests.

Comment 6 Vojtech Pavlik 2005-08-22 09:01:19 UTC

Any chance I could borrow it for a week or so?

Comment 7 Philipp Thomas 2005-08-22 12:09:49 UTC

As I also have a cymotion at home, I'm attching myself to this bug.

Patch for current alpha kernel 2.6.14-3

I don't know if anybody is realy interested in this bug, but here's the modified patch for current development kernel

Comment 10 Karl Eichwalder 2006-01-02 15:23:08 UTC

Reassigning to Thomas Renninger who added the patch to the YOU kernel according to Manfred Tremmel on suse-beta-e, 2005-12-16).

Comment 11 Thomas Renninger 2006-01-03 11:19:31 UTC

I have nothing to do with this (this was probably mixed up with the ACPI buffered key patch).
Reassigning to Vojtech, he is the right guy to commit such things to the kernel...

Comment 12 Vojtech Pavlik 2006-01-15 08:42:54 UTC

I sent the kernel patch upstream, and it was merged into Linus's tree. We will likely have it in our tree on Tuesday. Please check after then, whether it works as expected.

Comment 13 Vojtech Pavlik 2006-02-07 12:50:54 UTC

I expect it works OK. If not, please reopen.

Comment 14 Forgotten User v5inq2MBSE 2006-02-11 17:25:39 UTC

Ok, I've installed kernel-default-2.6.16_rc2_git2-6 and I get Keycodes for every Key. Thanks a lot, there is no reason to reopen.
