If somebody is still interested in project of Linux input device => X key codes mapping from the comment 30, there is an update with new URLs (no other changes were done in the comment nor linked files):
Stanislav Brabec 2009-05-20 04:24:46 UTC As this problem is going to be resolved, we should start think about getting correct translation between kernel and X. Proposed patch for the old keyboard driver to pass keycodes 128-16383 (128-255 with old Xi) using "Extended MEDIUMRAW" encapsulation: bug 11545 Keyboard mapping project page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Laptop/HotKeys Mapping work-in-progress. One table and set of scripts providing all needed tables. Some keys still need discussion. * Proposed mapping table between kernel and X: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/input_linux_map_fixed.txt * Proposed logical categories of keys (to help understanding them): http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/keymap_editor/keys.txt * Scancode scripts for kernel (generated from X symbols/inet and table above): http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/scancode_tables/ * Proposed code snippet to evdev_key.c driver (generated from the table above): http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/evdev_key_c_table.txt * Proposed X keycodes/evdev for evdev driver (generated from the table above): http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/keycodes_evdev * Proposed common extended basic keymap for X: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/symbols_evdev * Proposed X keycodes/inet for RAW and SOFTRAW drivers (generated from X symbols/inet and table above): http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/keycodes_inet ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50692 Title: New Sony Vaios hotkeys don't work (fn_key polling) Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On new Sony Vaios (FS and FJ series) hotkeys don't work. A piece of code that enables them as been released on gentoo forums. The programs runs as a service and as a config file in /etc/fsfn.conf. Here is the dmidecode output on my laptop: System Information Manufacturer: Sony Corporation Product Name: VGN-FJ3S_W Basically, the same config (default) enables hotkeys on all VGN-FN* computers and adding BRT_HACK_FJS=1 parameter in /etc/fsfn.conf files, enables them for VGN-FJ* series. As an attachement to this bug, here is the fsfn tarball (latest version from the gentoo boards).
