Bug#577442: xkb-data: Support for Logitech Elite Keyboard
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
(please refer to
https://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/projects/jcdubacq/wiki/FixKeyboard#TheLogitechEliteKeyboard
for context, esp. starting from "Using USB connexion..."
)
The Logitech Elite keyboard works now sufficiently good out of the box to
be (maybe) included in the xkb-data distribution. Currently only this needs
to be added (in symbols/inet):
// Logitech Elite Keyboard
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "logielite" {
key <I224> { [ XF86Messenger ] };
key <I226> { [ XF86iTouch ] };
};
Other things may be done for a fuller support (geometry, etc.) and can be
done if somebody is willing to include it (this keyboard is a bit out of
fashion, but it is mine).
There is a remaining bug in the kernel support of this keyboard:
* two keys have the same code (in xev)
* one key sends a button press!
