Package: xorg
Followup-For: Bug #372909
I have a Cherry CyMotion Master Linux too for quite some time, and I've
(had to) set up the kernel and X keycodes myself. I'm using the xorg
server on Debian unstable.
The first problem is that the kernel doesn't recognise the keycodes;
that's why you need the setkeycodes line in your startup scripts.
Otherwise the keys won't be recognised at a kernel level, as I understand
it. I checked the included drivers from Cherry to see how they did it.
(You seem to have solved this already, but let me mention it again for the
sake of internet search engines).
Here is a script (/etc/init.d/setkeycodes) to add the keycodes to the kernel:
#!/bin/sh
#
# -wvh- add keycodes to linux kernel from the extra keys on a Cherry CyMotion
Master Linux
#
echo -n "Setting up multimedia scan codes... "
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e065 136 e070 161 e032 172 e05f 143 e063 145 e06d 171 e00b
177 e012 178 e017 137 e00a 135 e018 133 e071 148 e02c 149 e072 202 e007 129
e008 131 e05b 200
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo done.
else
echo failed!
fi
exit $?
The second problem regarding the keycodes in X, well, when I bought my
keyboard, there was no X definition at all. It was added some releases
ago, and has been improved a few times. Now it's almost the same as the
one I wrote -- I still use mine though, as some keys might don't work
right in the definition that's currently in Xorg. (Note that the bindings
in Gnome and KDE have to be right too, ofcourse.)

key <I63> { [ XF86LogOff, XF86PowerOff ] };
key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
key <I01> { [ XF86AudioMedia ] };
key <I28> { [ Super_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ at ] };
};
PS: My keyboard has what Cherry calls a QWERTY Dutch/EU International
layout. Keycodes for other layouts might be a bit different, I wouldn't know.
