Bug#167567: xfree86-common: Samsung multimedia keyboard patch



Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: wishlist

I modified some Xkb files to make the extra keys on my Samsung keyboard work. Can you add it to the distribution? I'm not sure about the policy regarding adding the keysyms. 

xev: noted down keycodes

152 eject		I18

178 i			I32
236 mail		I6C

166 ?			I26

looked up keycodes in xkb dir
made keyboard entry in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet

    // There are two versions of this keyboard one with symbols (this one)

looked up keysyms in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
added XF86Help XF86Manual and XF86Quit to XKeySymDB

XF86Help                :1008FF3C
XF86Manual              :1008FF3D
XF86Quit                :1008FF3E

added entry to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86, I do not know what this means. I just copied the ones from logicordless which seems to work just fine.

  samsungsymbol  =      xfree86         pc(pc104)
samsungsymbol us      =       us(pc104)+inet(samsungsymbol)
  samsungsymbol en_US   =       en_US(pc104)+inet(samsungsymbol)
  samsungsymbol *       =       en_US(pc104)+inet(samsungsymbol)+%l%(v)


added entry to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst

  samsungsymbol Samsung multimedia keyboard w/ symbols next to keys

set XF86Config to:

Option "XkbModel"       "samsungsymbol"
