I am running Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS, and can confirm that I am having the exact same problem with the exact same keyboard (zoom key does not work on the "Microsoft Natural Ergonmoic 4000 Keyboard"). All the other special keys seem to work okay.
If it helps to explain what this key is, the zoom key is marked as item number 1 on this image of they keyboard: http://i.testfreaks.com/images/products/600x400/159/microsoft-natural- ergonomic-keyboard-4000.205983.jpg Also if I run "sudo showkey -t 2" to see the keycodes, the result is as follows: # the keycode for the up key is: 0x00 0x83 0xa2 # (The above keycode will be repeated whilst the zoom key is held in the up position.) # Followed by this on release: 0x80 0x83 0xa2 # They keycode for the down key is: 0x00 0x83 0xa3 # (The above keycode will be repeated whilst the zoom key is held in the down position.) # Followed by this on release: 0x80 0x83 0xa3 Note also that on running "xev" that I don't get any events when I press or release the zoom key in either the up or down positions, so based on comment #2, this would indicate a problem with the kernel. -- zoom keys dont work in my microsoft natural keyboard 4000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
