<pre>A part of <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=fa9d4be3f1">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=fa9d4be3f1</a>
("simply use /dev/input/event* to reload all input rules") is incorrect:
xvii:/home/vinc17# udevadm hwdb --update
xvii:/home/vinc17# ls -lu /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 6559371 2014-11-21 16:05:27 /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
xvii:/home/vinc17# udevadm trigger /dev/input/event*
Extraneous argument: '/dev/input/event0'
xvii:/home/vinc17# ls -lu /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 6559371 2014-11-21 16:05:27 /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
xvii:/home/vinc17# udevadm trigger
xvii:/home/vinc17# ls -lu /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 6559371 2014-11-21 16:05:51 /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
As you can see, /etc/udev/hwdb.bin isn't read with:
udevadm trigger /dev/input/event*
However, even after "udevadm trigger" nothing changed in the keyboard mapping.
Nothing changed after a reboot either. So, I'm wondering.
I've checked that the generated /etc/udev/hwdb.bin file contains parts of
strings from my remappings, which are:
keyboard:usb:v05ACp0221*
KEYBOARD_KEY_29=102nd
KEYBOARD_KEY_56=grave
KEYBOARD_KEY_1d0=insert
I don't seem to be the only one noticing no changes via hwdb remappings. See
for instance:
<a href="http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/156985/keyboard-hard-remap-keys">http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/156985/keyboard-hard-remap-keys</a>
Either there is a bug in udev, or something else is missing in the
documentation. BTW, it would be nice to have information for debugging.</pre>
