Hi, I've a problem with my Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000. One part of the keyboard is seen as a joystick by the hid layer of the kernel (creating a js0 node with udev…) The lsusb output is in the attachements. as you can see inside it, the keyboard declares two interfaces: bNumInterfaces 2 One with : bInterfaceClass 3 Human Interface Device bInterfaceSubClass 1 Boot Interface Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 1 Keyboard which seems ok and one with: bInterfaceClass 3 Human Interface Device bInterfaceSubClass 0 No Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 0 None The device is cut in two by event system : pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:1.2:1.0-event-kbd pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:1.2:1.1-event-kbd but this last one is also provided to : pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:1.2:1.1-kbd -> ../js0 The signals sent on it are nothing like a joystick (some garbage sometimes, but nothing that seems coherent). Special keys seems to be sent only to the second input event device. But I managed to get them working by remapping them : /usr/lib/udev/keymap input/event11 0xc022d back 0xc022e forward 0xc01b6 camera 0xc01a2 f19 the only one which is not working is the "Aero" key, giving a scancode of 0x1A2, I can see it in the /sys/kernel/debug/hid/…/event but it doesn't seems to be declared as a valid scancode judging by what I see in include/linux/input.h of a 3.4 kernel. Do you think it can be possible to avoid the kernel seeing this as a joystick (joydev module) and to add this 0x1A2 scan code ? If you need any further information, I may provide them to you. Thanks for your work on the kernel.
