xkb support for HP laptop
(courtesy cc please, I'm not on debian-x, thanks)
Hi debian-x,
I'm trying to add support for the special keys on my HP nc4010 laptop using
xkb. I have patched the runtime files on my system and checking with xev now
some of the keys have the right symbols and some don't. The patch is attached
and in XF86Config-4 I have,
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "hpnc40x0"
EndSection
The audio keys are working but the others aren't, output from xev attached.
Any idea why it's not working?
Did I miss something?
Can you change thing like this at runtime or does it need to be part of the
build for some reason?
Thanks,
