I'm trying to get my remote control working. It uses the Linux input
system rather than lirc. So, the button presses generate keyboard
events. All the buttons that generate keycodes less than 256 work
fine, but a few (such as Ch+ and Ch-) generate keycodes greater than
255. None of these keys work.
If I test it with evtest and xev, evtest sees the ChannelDown event,
but xev does not.
$ evtest /dev/input/event
Event: time 1085087962.698609, type 1 (Key), code 114 (VolumeDown),
value 0
Event: time 1085087962.698611, type 0 (Reset), code 0 (Reset), value 0
Event: time 1085087963.459369, type 1 (Key), code 403 (ChannelDown),
value 1
Event: time 1085087963.459371, type 0 (Reset), code 0 (Reset), value 0
$ xev
KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
root 0x36, subw 0x0, time 21962819, (426,-275), root:(430,392),
state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume),
same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
I'm using...
xfree86 4.2.1
linux 2.6.3
What's the cause of this problem? Is it fixed in any later version of
XFree86?
Please cc me in your reply. Thanks!
Shaun
