Description Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-10-20 06:12:15 UTC

I have Logitech Cordless Internet Pro keyboard. I've added it to X11 
configuration, but after I assign keyboard shortcuts for applications, they do 
not work. Volume+/- and Mute do not show widgets with volume progress bar or 
"sound muted" as expected. I use kxkb, but even disabling it does nothing.

Comment 1 Dirk Mueller 2005-10-20 07:02:02 UTC

attach the keyboard section of your xorg.conf please

Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2005-10-20 12:39:34 UTC

and the xev output when you type the mute key

Comment 3 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-10-21 11:33:45 UTC

....
Each button is detected.
Here's excempt from xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "kbd"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
  Option       "XkbModel" "logiclinetpro"
  Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
  Option       "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
EndSection

I've added "logiclinetpro" keyboard model by myself, patching following files:
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols.dir
Added:
--p----- a------- inet(logiclinetpro)

/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet
// Logitech Cordless Internet Pro Keyboard
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "logiclinetpro" {
    key <XFER>  {       [ XF86AudioMedia        ]       };
    key <I22>   {       [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause         ]       };
    key <I20>   {       [ XF86AudioMute         ]       };
    key <I30>   {       [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume  ]       };
    key <I2E>   {       [ XF86AudioLowerVolume  ]       };
    key <I66>   {       [ XF86Favorites         ]       };
    key <I6C>   {       [ XF86Mail              ]       };
    key <I02>   {       [ XF86WWW               ]       };

};

/etc/X11/xkb/rules/base
ltcd logiaccess logicdp logicdpa logicdit logicink logiciink logiclinetpro \

/etc/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
logiclinetpro   Logitech Cordless Internet Pro Keyboard

/etc/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml
    <model>
      <configItem>
        <name>logiclinetpro</name>
        <description>Logitech Cordless Internet Pro Keyboard</description>
      </configItem>
    </model>

Then I coosed this keyboard from drop-down list in kxkb.

Hope this helps

Comment 4 Felix Rommel 2006-02-01 16:24:51 UTC

My multimedia keys in my Acer Aspire 1353LC aren't recognized, too.

Neither in KDE nor in GNOME. In Ubuntu Breezy they work without editing anything manually.

My keyboard section of my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "kbd"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "de"
  Option       "XkbModel" "pc105"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
  Option       "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

Comment 6 Felix Rommel 2006-02-01 16:27:19 UTC

Sorry for my double post.

Additional info: I have SUSE 10.1 Beta2 installed.

Comment 7 Dirk Mueller 2006-02-01 16:31:30 UTC

is this the xorg.conf of ubuntu or of suse? with that broken xorg.conf its quite normal that your multimedia keys don't work.

Comment 8 Matthias Fruehauf 2006-05-03 15:58:44 UTC

OK, what is the status with this bug? Is there still some info missing or is it clarified and fixed meanwhile?

Comment 9 Alexander Lavrinenko 2006-05-03 17:19:07 UTC

Seems it's been fixed somewhere in beta8-9 - closing this bug.
