Hi
I am trying to map some HotKeys into specific actions for Dell Mobile
Precision systems. I have been able to do so quite easily for the text
console but having problem with key mapping in Xwindows.
I am not very familiar with Xwindows code so pls help me out...
Here's what I got:
kernel 2.6.18
Fedora Core 5
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-8
For example:
I would like to map Fn+F1 to "hibernate"
From text console with 'showkey -s' , I find pressing Fn+F1 generates
e00a. So it's quite from there to map it to any action.
But the problem is, when I fire up xserver and run 'xev'. If I press
Fn+F1, nothing shows up in the screen to tell me about any
Xkeycode/keysym that is generated.
This tells me that the problem might be in mapping scancode -->
Xkeycode in the xf86PostKbdEvent() function in
hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c
Is this the right way to fix it? If not what path should I take?
Any pointers/suggestions are welcome. I am willing to do any coding
to get it fixed.
Thanks..
