As I understand this X can understand up to 255 only and XEV only shows up to 255 and that is ONLY the core of a keyboard with XEV and NOT the multi media buttons of which are above 255 on MOST keyboards.
This is a HUGEEEEEEEEE problem and the best direction I can see to go OTHER than hack work arounds of which I am still trying to develop a method is X input 2 or XI2 as it allows for multi touch and also the remapping of ANY keys regardless of them being 255 or below only, you can just remap whatever you wish with what ever number to whatever function or program.
This needs to be adopted fast!!
Any thoughts on this matter?
