Questions about kernel 2.4.4
Ciao a tutti,
I compiled a kernel from my iBook using the sources from the
kernel-sources-2.4.4 package and the patches from
kernel-patch-2.4.4-powerpc.
Now I have two troubles:
- the keyboard doesn't work under X. Every gives a different result!
- the trackpad doesn't work, either using console with gpm either
under X. This worked fine using a 2.2.19 kernel (probed only under
console).
For the second trouble I see at the boot this message
==============dmesg================================
ADB mouse at 3, handler set to 4 (trackpad)
input3: ADB HID on ID 3:3.01
mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input3
mouse1: PS/2 mouse device for input0
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
===================================================
I use gpm on the device /dev/input/mice and it works using an usb
mouse.
Now I was reading a document coming from SuSe, where I read:
============SuSe====================================
echo "1" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation
echo "87" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode # F11
echo "88" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode # F12
This makes the function keys F11 and F12 take on the function of the
respective mouse buttons -- at least until the next reboot. So to make
the change persistent put the three 'echo' commands at the end of the
file /sbin/init.d/boot.local which is exexuted at each system startup.
=====================================================
So I discovered the /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid directory where I found
these files:
==========/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid======================
ls /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid
keyboard_lock_keycodes
mouse_button_emulation
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
mouse_button2_keycode
mouse_button3_keycode
=====================================================
The first three files contains 0, the fourth 97 and 100 the
fifth. Should I change some of these to correct my problems?
Thanks for the help!
