Same annoying issue here, I have a Microsoft wireless laser desktop 6000
keyboard (together with a mouse wireless laser 6000), I have upgraded hardy to
intrepid, and now all the extra buttons which aren't included in the 105
standard layout don't even send any event to X (I realized that with the xev
command).
So it should not be a "mapping" issue, it seems that the settings that worked
great in Hardy (by itself, without any intervention! ) remained (for what I can
see in the settings files and from the keyboard shortcuts).
I have also tried to set many different layouts (among which all the
Microsoft's and the evdev as someone indicated...) without success. Neither the
"solution" of adding in sessions the command succeeded:
xinput set-button-map "4" 1 2 3 17 18 19 20 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16.
The extra keys continue not sending any event.
The output of setxkbmap -print is:
layout: Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
layout: Generic 105 keys PC
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
layout: Evdev
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
layout: Microsoft Natural Wireless Ergonomic 7000
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "microsoft(natural)" };
This is the only that has a geometry of microsoft(natural), but I'm afraid it
is not enough to enable my extra buttons...
The keyboard disposition is "Italy".
I attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the lspci -vvnn output.
I hope this will be fixed soon, for the comfort of such keys! Thanks!
