 Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2006 8:19 pm Post subject: Make the Chicony Wireless Internet Keyboard work |
 |
|
I have a wireless Chicony internet keyboard (model: KBR0108) and I couldn't get my multimedia keys to work with the chicony/chicony9885 layouts in Xorg, so I made my own layout. To make it work on your computer too, just follow the simple instructions below.
Simply add this to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/inet:
| Code: |
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "chicony_wireless" {
name[Group1]= "Chicony Wireless Internet Keyboard";
//Left column
key <I3C> { [ XF86Cut ] };
key <I78> { [ XF86Copy] };
key <K65> { [ XF86Paste ] };
//Top row
key <I5F> { [ XF86Sleep ] };
key <I21> { [ XF86Calculator ] };
key <I24> { [ XF86AudioStop ] };
key <I10> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] };
key <I19> { [ XF86AudioNext ] };
key <I22> { [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
key <I02> { [ XF86WWW ] };
key <I6C> { [ XF86Mail ] };
key <FK17> { [XF86Search ] };
key <I6A> { [ XF86Back ] };
key <I69> { [ XF86Forward ] };
key <I66> { [ XF86Favorites ] };
}; |
Then in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg find the section that begins with "! $inetkbds" and add "chicony_wireless" somewhere in the middle. It should looks like this then:
| Code: |
! $inetkbds = airkey acpi scorpius azonaRF2300 \
...
chicony chicony9885 chicony_wireless \
...
|
In the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst find the "! model" section and add "chicony_wireless Chicony Wireless Internet Keyboard" somewhere in the middle. It should look like this then:
| Code: |
! model
...
chicony_wireless Chicony Wireless Internet Keyboard
...
|
Finally open /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml and locate the "chicony" model, and insert the following code after that:
| Code: |
<model>
<configItem>
<name>chicony_wireless</name>
<description>Chicony Wireless Internet Keyboard</description>
<description xml:lang="nl">Chicony draadloos internet toetsenbord</description>
</configItem>
</model>
