Maybe the 5XTV has the fixed keycodes. I thought maybe you were using PS/2, and tried that. The results were good and bad, but there were no keycodes over 255 this time. Here are the xmodmap keycodes: ! same over USB and PS/2 keycode 236 = XF86Mail keycode 230 = XF86Favorites keycode 229 = XF86Search keycode 223 = XF86Standby keycode 233 = XF86Start keycode 234 = XF86Back ! available over PS/2 keycode 178 = XF86HomePage keycode 162 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 164 = XF86AudioNext keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 237 = XF86AudioMedia ! messenger keycode 145 = XF86Community ! webcam keycode 146 = XF86WWW ! iTouch keycode 147 = XF86VendorHome ! shopping keycode 148 = XF86Finance ! F-locked F keys: 187, 188, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 194, 195, 196, 215, 216 ! the first 8 interfere with Shift+F1 through Shift+F8 in Emacs !keycode 187 = F13 !keycode 188 = F14 !keycode 118 = F15 !keycode 119 = F16 !keycode 120 = F17 !keycode 121 = F18 !keycode 122 = F19 !keycode 194 = F20 keycode 195 = F21 keycode 196 = F22 keycode 215 = F23 keycode 216 = F24 ! scroll wheel click, scroll wheel sends Up/Down key keycode 150 = XF86RockerDown So there are the following problems with PS/2: - the scroll wheel doesn't scroll up/down as a mouse would, now it's just the up/down keys - the F-locked F1 through F8 keys overlap Shift+F1 through Shift+F8 as far as Emacs is concerned I still want to use the keyboard over USB, so kernel support for keycodes over 255 would be nice... Ted p.s. Incidentally, Logitech's LISA user support system is hilariously useless. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
