Checkout this web site... They did have some stuff there for the iTouch
keyboards. (I have the Cordless Optical keyboard/mouse combo). But I haven't
tried the files yet.

Subject: Logitech Cordless Elite Duo: issues and useful keysyms


Hello,

running RH 8.0, with the stock kernel and XFree86.

> rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.4.18-14
> rpm -q XFree86
XFree86-4.2.0-72

I got the Logitech Cordless Elite, after using the Logitech iTouch for
a while.  I also switched from PS/2 to USB interface for the keyboard.

First the good news: the following xmodmap keysyms work with the Elite
keyboard.  They are definitely different from the old iTouch keyboard,
even when the key is labeled the same on the keyboard.

keycode 166 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 129 = XF86AudioMedia

! this is the nice volume wheel
keycode 158 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 165 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 162 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 164 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 159 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 151 = XF86AudioStop

keycode 236 = XF86Mail
keycode 130 = XF86HomePage
keycode 230 = XF86Favorites
keycode 229 = XF86Search
keycode 223 = XF86Standby
keycode 233 = XF86Start
keycode 234 = XF86Back

The scroll wheel of the keyboard works great, sending mouse events for
buttons 4 and 5.  Very nice.

So far, so good.  Now the problems start.

- the F-lock key does nothing except disable the F keys.  It seems,
  based on the labels on those keys, that F-lock would make them send
  alternate keycodes, but no such luck.

- pushing the keyboard scroll wheel does nothing (it would be nice if
  it did)

- The following keys send mouse button events, according to xev:
  
  messenger = button 1, webcam = button 3, shopping and itouch = button 2

I would like to get as many keys back as possible.  I was hoping to
avoid recompiling the kernel and XFree86, but I'll do it if there's
better support for that keyboard in the newer releases.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ted
