Full keymap for Genius TwinTouch

[jwm]

Binary package hint: xkb-data

There isn't a full mapping for the extra 'internet' keys on the Genius TwinTouch optical:

http://www.geniusnet.com/geniusOnline/online.portal?_nfpb=true&productPortlet_actionOverride=%2Fportlets%2FproductArea%2Fcategory%2FqueryPro&_windowLabel=productPortlet&productPortletproductId=30526&_pageLabel=productPage&test=portlet-action

So I made one. The real bug is how difficult it is to submit this back to xorg. Hopefully the package maintainers will have an easy time of it.

Add this snippet to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet:

// Genius Wireless TwinTouch Optical Office
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "geniustt" {
    key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
    key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
    key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
    key <I10> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] };
    key <I22> { [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
    key <XFER> { [ XF86AudioMedia ] };
    key <I24> { [ XF86AudioStop ] };
    key <I19> { [ XF86AudioNext ] };
    key <I6C> { [ XF86Mail ] };
    key <I68> { [ XF86Stop ] };
    key <I67> { [ XF86Refresh ] };
    key <I6A> { [ XF86Back ] };
    key <I02> { [ XF86WWW ] };
    key <I69> { [ XF86Forward ] };
    key <FK17> { [ XF86Search ] };
    key <I66> { [ XF86Favorites ] };
    key <I5F> { [ XF86Sleep ] };
    key <I21> { [ XF86Calculator ] };
    key <K67> { [ XF86MyComputer ] };
};

I'll leave it as an exercise to the package maintainer to update symbols.dir, base.lst and base.xml

Hi jwm-angrymonkey,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.

I assume this is some sort of mass mail out to the submitters of old,
outstanding bugs.

My 'bug', however, is a feature request, with something near to a patch to
implement it.

Thanks for your code. Just to make the life a bit easier for me - could you please have a look at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig/Rules. I mean the section related to models.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi jwm, just to follow up - upstream has asked if you could review the section related to models at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig/Rules and generate a patch accordingly? If you could do this and send the change to the upstream bug it would be much appreciated.

You did not reply to the need to format the patch in the required format in 2009. Marking as incomplete.
